Tahiti: Juiced on Noni
Drink this super fruit juice -- if you dare
 Printer friendly page  Email to a friend


Time to move over pomegranate -- there's a new super fruit juice in town. Well, not exactly new: Tahitians have used the noni (or Morinda citrifolia) plant to treat everything from skin lesions to fevers for thousands of years. But the exact medicinal properties of the plant, which flourishes in Tahiti's sandy, dry conditions, are just being discovered. While the entire plant is healthful, the potato-sized, yellow-white fruit yields -- when it's almost ripe -- an increasingly famous cure-all: noni juice. Studies have found the juice to be a booster for energy and immune systems and jam-packed with antioxidants. Now in such high demand, it's one of Tahiti's top exports. And the taste? Let's just say noni juice's bitter, fermented-prune quality is greatly helped by a mixer such as cranberry juice (and maybe a little rum). 32 oz. bottle is $39.95. pacificislandimports.com
