GENERAL Aloe leaves are harvested by the Tappers and the bitter sap is drained.The leaves are then collected and taken to the factory where they are washed, dried in the sun and then milled into a fine powder. The only natural constituent that is removed from the leaves during production is some of the aloin. Aloe leaf powder is a good source of soluble and insoluble dietary fibre.
