Nutrition Facts
According to publications released by the University of Hawaii, 100 grams of pure noni juice contains about:
- 15 calories
- 3.5 grams carbohydrates
- 1.5 grams sugar
- 34 milligrams vitamin C (15 percent DV)
Noni fruit also provides small amounts of B vitamins, folate, calcium and potassium, in addition to certain fatty acids and amino acids (serine, arginine and methionine).
And most importantly, as explained above, it provides powerful antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, beta-carotene, catechins, and more.
Interesting Facts
Noni goes by several names around the world, including morinda, Indian mulberry, hog apple and canary wood. Its Latin name, however, is Morinda citrifolia.
The noni tree has many traditional uses in tropical countries, where various parts were used to treat intestinal issues, wounds and injuries to the skin, and swollen parts of the body affected by arthritis or poultices. Tahitian-sourced noni juice is also associated with reported health benefits including increased energy, improved well-being, fewer infections, improved sleep, and reduced asthma symptoms.
In recent years, this fruit has become a pretty big moneymaker, representing a $3 billion industry. A plant pathologist, Scot Nelson, from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa’s College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, claims at around 800 per fluid ounce, noni is responsible for “one of the world’s highest profit-margins for juice beverages.”
In addition to the juice, noni has become a popular supplement, mostly found dried and in powder. To achieve this, a patent reports that it starts from picking the fruit from the tree to a lengthy process of drying the leaves and eventually grinding them into a fine powder.
How to Use
Where can you buy noni juice? Some of the most popular types are grown in Hawaii, Polynesian Islands, and Tahiti and Costa Rica. If you aren’t visiting these countries, look for noni products in health food stores or online.
How to drink noni juice:
This fruit juice is usually combined with other juices to improve the taste.
Noni may remind you of a mango in size and color, but it doesn’t contain the sweetness that the mango holds. The fruit is bitter, and this is why it’s really more of a healing tonic than a refreshing juice beverage.
You can juice fresh noni fruit at home if you have a juicer, or you can purchase already-made noni juice at specialty grocery stores or online. Some juices are fermented which can result in higher concentrations of healthy bacteria, although studies suggest the level of microbiological substances and antioxidants depends on the exact type of noni and processing methods used.
How much should you drink? Most people should aim to stick to about 6 to 8 ounces daily, which has been associated with health improvements and won’t contribute too much sugar to your diet. That being said, up to 25 ounces daily seems to be safe for most adults, as demonstrated in certain studies.
Here’s how to make noni juice at home:
- It takes about six noni fruits to yield eight ounces of juice.
- By adding some fresh lemon juice or grape juice, you can create a more pleasant taste.
- You can also add chopped noni to your smoothie, morning yogurt or oatmeal, or cook it in your vegetables sautéed and serve it over rice.
