Pitaya Foods IQF Aloe Vera Pieces 12 oz. - 8/Case

Details

Whip up healthy, energizing smoothies and bowls to help your customers jumpstart their morning or beat the afternoon slump with these Pitaya Foods IQF aloe vera pieces. Aloe vera is a spiky succulent plant with thick, fleshy green leaves that are tipped with small spines. Inside the leaves is a translucent gel interior that's renowned for its culinary and medicinal uses. Aloe vera gel has very little flavor, though it does have a slight vegetal, "green" taste. The gel is loaded with antioxidants and is also a great source of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as calcium and magnesium, making it a wholesome addition to your menu.

Removing the tough, spiky exterior of aloe vera leaves is a precise and time-consuming task. Let the experts at Pitaya Foods do the work for you by purchasing these pre-cut aloe vera pieces! This convenient product will save on time and labor costs in your busy kitchen. Plus, it has a wide variety of applications on your menu! Simply blend the gel on its own to create aloe juice, adding cane sugar or fruit juice to cut the vegetal flavor of the aloe if desired. It also makes a healthy and hydrating addition to smoothies! This cut aloe gel makes an attractive and nutritious topping for fruit salads, puddings, or trendy acai bowls.

Harvested at the peak of ripeness, these versatile aloe vera pieces are conveniently pre-cut and individually quick frozen to maintain their freshness at their best form. When produce is first picked, it starts to lose its nutritional value, and freezing in masses lumps the fruit together. Using the IQF method prevents this from happening, and instead keeps the aloe's flavor, structure, nutritional benefits, and natural appearance intact, letting your dishes look and taste their best every time. Thanks to their preservation, the aloe pieces taste deliciously fresh; customers will never guess they were actually frozen!
