Noni Fruit - Super Healthy Skin Enhancer and Energy Booster!
Noni fruit (Morinda citrifolia) is found in tropical regions all over the world. It is an evergreen plant native to Southeast Asia but grows prolifically in areas such as Hawaii, India, Central America, and Tahiti .
This irregular, egg-shaped superfruit has been used for two thousand years by the traditional healers of Polynesia as a super powerful beverage drink.
The leaves, stems, flowers and roots were also used as food in many areas of the Hawaiian islands.
It is traditionally fermented 3-6 months to increase healthy qualities such as beneficial enzymes and friendly flora for colon health.
The longer it ferments the more potent the nutrient value and is said to age like fine wine.

In the Journal of Medicinal Food. 2005 it was shown that noni increases the production of collagen. It was concluded that the anthraquinone from Noni extract could be used as a possible anti-wrinkle agent.
How to Use:
Noni fruit has a very strong tangy cheese-like smell and pungent taste (but not as strong as durian fruit) that is best camouflaged in a drink or beverage with other more aromatic herbs and tasty fruits.
