Many readers do not just ask "What is Noni Juice?", but also "Where does it come from?", "What is Noni Juice good for?" and "Why should I take it?".
Noni has been known and used for centuries by ancient healers
in Hawaii, Polynesia, Micronesia, and Asia as a general
tonic and for the treatment of imbalances of the digestive, respiratory,
nervous, and immune systems, as well as injuries to muscle, bone, and
connective tissue. There is mounting evidence that vital nutrients
contained in Noni juice may make it an effective treatment
for more serious diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and even cancer.
Noni
juice has quickly become one of the most popular of all the complementary and
alternative medicines (CAM) and is used extensively by herbalists, naturopaths, homeopaths, and
other practitioners of natural, holistic medicine. Although no clinical
studies have yet to be done, there are glowing testimonials from around the world from people who have used Noni successfully when more
traditional medicine has failed. And as the scientific evidence on the therapeutic health benefits of Noni juice continues to grow, more and more
mainstream health care providers are being won over by this remarkable plant.
How long will my Noni juice
keep before spoiling?
Unopened Noni juice has an almost indefinite shelf life of up to 1 year or
more. After opening, Noni should be kept in the refrigerator. Noni juice
tastes best chilled, and it will last at least 6 months in your
refrigerator. Noni juice is a fermented product, and it will continue to
age slowly on your shelf. So the bottle you open 1 year from now will
taste a little stronger than the first bottle you opened. This is
completely natural. Some people even believe that the potency of Noni
increases the more it is aged, although there is no scientific evidence to
support this belief.
What does Noni juice taste like?
How should the taste of Noni juice be described? This is a question that
great thinkers and philosophers have wrestled with throughout history.
Most would describe the taste as somewhere between "not too bad" and
"really, really awful." The best tasting juice is made from fully ripened
fruit. Fully ripened Noni fruit begins to ferment almost immediately after
harvesting, turning translucent and soft, and emitting a strong odor.
Juice made from fully ripened Noni fruit will have a heavy fruity taste.
Green or half-ripe fruit produces a vinegary or bitter tasting juice. A
bitter, vinegary taste is also the result of leaving old, leftover pulp in
the aging tanks just to try to squeeze out every last drop of juice in the
name of profit. While the taste of Noni juice has never been described as
good, most people will get used to the taste, and even begin to like
it...just a little.
