Noni is a fascinating plant, demanding of our respect. Its prolific beauty, bearing fruit year round...as if to say, "here I am, please use me." However, as you may already be aware, few of us are willing to make Noni's intimate acquaintance. The aroma of Noni fruit is truly bad. Some say "disgusting" or "horrid" or "stinks bad" or worse. And, it doesn't taste good either! Yet, it is well-known to be one of the main healers among the traditional Polynesian medicinal plants. It is said that this Noni is to be used when we are feeling really ill or really old.
The Noni fruit should be picked from wild tress called "Ovin" at its yellow stage. This is the critical picking period and very important as set down through generations from Tahitian Medicine Men. The correct time to pick the Noni is when it turns 100% yellow - this is called "Omoto." The fruit is then washed and placed to dry for five days to a week or more, until the fruit turns to mush. This fruit is then placed in drums and allowed to macerate (naturally pressed) for approximately 4 weeks into juice . It is these juices that are strained and filtered for use. This is the traditional method that allows the natural extraction of Noni Juice with all of the Noni fruits natural enzymes.
It is said the liquid 'supports your immune system, delivers superior antioxidants, increases energy, and allows greater physical performance levels.'
The recipe is a very simple one, combine all ingredients in vita mix and blend well.
1/2 cup Noni Juice
1 Young Coconut water and jelly
4 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
Agave Nectar to sweeten (if desired)
Namaste'

Leigh, noni smells so aweful, don't know how you drink it lol
ReplyDeletelol it does huh! But I think the amount the recipe calls for, you hardly get the taste. Plus, the blend of your sweetener of choice and coconut water, dilutes the noni.
