Aloe Vera juice has a remarkable ability, to make revolution in food safety around the world. Aloe vera would provide elimination of e.coli, retain freshness, and mostly extend shelf life. So we wonder why isn’t anybody doing this with aloe? Perhaps, the gel can’t be patented. Therefore the food companies find an easier and cheaper way to simply add synthetic chemicals to foods than use a safe and natural preservative. Soon, a pure aloe Vera juice product (with out added flavors) will likely be made available at Good Cause Wellness (www.GoodCauseWellness.com) . You have to only mix some powder with purified water to make your own gel,. After that you dip fruits and vegetables in the gel yourself. You can preserve Apples, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, peaches, potatoes, grapes and many other food items in this way. When your work is done you can use it.
