10 Benefits of Aloe Vera
Benefit #7: Keeps Food Fresh
Most people do not eat enough fruits and vegetables. For some, fruits and vegetables are too expensive to buy on a weekly basis and thus they aim to buy staple foods that will last a long time. In addition, fresh fruit and vegetables often have a short shelf life, which can be very difficult for people who are already having trouble buying them in the first place. If you struggle with rotting food, aloe vera gel can be used to keep foods fresher longer.
In a 2014 study by Cambridge University, tomatoes were coated with aloe vera gel. They found that tomatoes coated with the gel lasted longer than the noncoated tomatoes. This is because the aloe vera gel kills harmful bacteria.
