Noni

MORINDA CITRIFOLIA

This fruit-bearing tree of the coffee family is native to Southeast Asia. It has a strong odour, and its fruit is a staple in many cuisines, which is why it is sometimes called the “cheese fruit”. The oval-shaped fruit gradually changes from green to white as it ripens and contains numerous seeds.

Noni has traditionally been used in folk medicine to treat colds, flu, anxiety, and high blood pressure. Its growth can also help suppress weeds in the surrounding area.
