When I saw this for the first time, I thought it was some kind of tuna nigiri, and maybe the tuna had been marinated too long, or the marinade didn’t have the right balance of ingredients—but, instead, it was made with a cube of aloe vera. Aloe vera has been known for years for its benefits to our skin and its detoxing effect. Many people use aloe juice in their smoothies. It can also be consumed as a vegetarian option for sushi. The skin has a bitter taste, so we remove that first.
