On these islands,
a very special plant grows in abundance.
This plant is known to
us by its botanical name of “Morinda citrifolia”. The native
Polynesians, however, know it simply as “Noni”, which when
translated means "A Gift from God".
Although it may be new
to us, it is not really new at all. It has been highly valued
in Asia, India, and the South Pacific for thousands of years!
|
As the
ancient native Polynesians colonized islands throughout the
South Pacific they brought with them their most prized plants
from their home islands. These plants provided food
during times of famine, construction materials, and natural
medicines. |
 |
The most important of these
plants is known as Morinda citrifolia, or noni. Ancient
manuscripts describe the many valuable uses for this unique
plant. The native Polynesians used the seeds, the bark,
the roots, the leaves, the blossoms, and the fruit.

Morinda
citrifolia is also one of the most beautiful plants
on the islands with its large dark green shiny leaves
and its creamy white flower blossoms. The
Morinda citrifolia plant matures very quickly, reaching heights of 15-20 feet! |
 |
The plant yields fruit
all year round and the more fruit that is harvested, the more
it produces! On every branch of every plant, there are
many fruit in various stages of development, so the fruit must
be checked and harvested regularly. |
|
|
The
mature fruit is green and measures about the size of a potato.
When the fruit is ripe, it turns yellowish-white and becomes very
soft and aromatic. For health and beauty
purposes, the fruit is harvested when it is ripe. Over-ripened
fruit is allowed to fall to the ground to replenish the soil as the
noni fruit is very rich in nutrients. |
 |
The native Polynesians
have been harvesting and preparing their own "noni juice" and other
noni "remedies" for centuries. Now many of these ancient
traditions preserved for centuries are now being verified by
science!
|
 |
The native Polynesians harvest
the fruit just before it is fully ripe and then place it in a jar
with water in the direct sunlight. Once the fruit is fully ripened
and fermented, it is mashed into a puree and the juice is extracted
through a cloth. The remaining pulp mixture is often used for
other health and beauty purposes. |
