Aloe nuttii is a species of aloe native to Tanzania and neighboring countries. It is an erect perennial herb with bright green grass-like leaves, 50 cm (20 in), which produces a flower spike up to 75 cm (30 in) long with tubular flowers somewhere in the orange-red or pink region of the color spectrum.
The mature flowers are cooked and used as a vegetable, often in combination with peas or pumpkin leaves.[1]
