Aloe vera juice new trend in Vijayawada
The Hindu
While a glass costs ₹50, half a litre bottle costs ₹80
After many "healthy juices", it's time for the aloe vera juice. Ramesh, a juice vendor from Nalgonda district in Telangana has come all the way to Vijayawada to try his luck.
Cleaned and neatly arranged Aloe vera plants on his mobile can attract the passersby. A juicer on the platform and a banner with information on uses of the Aloe vera makes them stop for a while.
Satyam, a resident of Madhura Nagar, says had it been a street vendor selling the plants on a pushcart, it would have been a normal scene for us. Usually, people hang the plant on the top of their main entrance to ward off the evils. We know that Aloe vera is used for treatment of sun burns but not as a juice. As the mobile juice shop is located near his house, he wondered when the juice shop was opened, he recalls.
