noni juice

Noni, also known as Morinda citrifolia, is a small evergreen tree native to Australasia and Southeast Asia, now naturalized throughout the Pacific region and tropics. It is recognized for its use in traditional medicine. The fruit, also called noni, has a strong, pungent odor and a bitter, acidic taste, leading to names like "vomit fruit".1

Noni fruit is rarely eaten raw. It is often fermented into a juice, which can then be mixed with other juices and sugar to mask its strong flavor and scent. Unfermented noni juice is also consumed. While all parts of the plant have been used medicinally, claims of health benefits are uncertain, and large amounts of noni juice have been linked to liver toxicity.1
