뜻
Literal 'crocodile tongue', refers to the plant
문화적 배경
Pontianak is known as the 'City of Aloe Vera'. The soil there is perfect for growing massive lidah buaya plants, which are then processed into various snacks, drinks, and even tea. In Java, lidah buaya is part of the 'TOGA' (Tanaman Obat Keluarga) program, where every household is encouraged to grow medicinal plants for self-sufficiency. Historically, thick black hair is a beauty ideal in Indonesia. Lidah buaya is the primary natural ingredient used to achieve this, often mixed with 'kemiri' (candlenut). In cities like Jakarta, 'Aloe Vera Gel' (often Korean brands) became a massive trend on social media, but people still refer to it as 'gel lidah buaya' in conversation.

Yellow sap
When cutting fresh lidah buaya, let the yellow sap (aloin) drain out first, as it can irritate the skin.
