I haven't heard of people eating or juicing them here.  They are not Aloe Vera, they do spread a little, but not very fast, and they flower too.  It is one of the succulent I have in my garden.

Well Norman and everyone reading, open your eyes and drop your jaws, the creative mind of Taiwan people...

Thanks, yes the Taiwan people are really resourceful and they are very astute business entrepreneur.  I wonder how these products taste.  The salad looks really appetizing, and I like the look of the soap too.  Have you try any of them?  They all look pretty upmarket to me.

I only tasted the salad so far.  Easy House is one of the best vege restaurant here.
