So you’re wondering whether we’re going to spill the beans on the latest surgical procedure anybody who’s anybody is having, right? Or whether we might talk about some Medieval sounding skincare procedure? Well, actually, we’re going to tell you about the Noni Fruit – a fruit that’s formed the foundation of many a star’s beauty regimes since the days of the silver screen. Here we tell you all about why this natural wonder should make it onto your beauty shelf.
What’s a Noni when it’s at home?
The Noni Fruit is native to Polynesia, Southeast Asia, and Australasia, but is cultivated in the Dominican Republic – where it enjoys ideal growing conditions. You may not have heard of it, but this fruit features everything from capsules and tablets to creams and teas. And it’s got a long list of other names, too, including the Great Morinda, Indian Mulberry, Nunaakai (India), Dog Dumpling (Barbados), Mengkudu (Indonesia and Malaysia), Apatot (Philippines), Kumudu (Bali), Pace (Java), Beach Mulberry and Cheese Fruit (Australia).
In French Polynesia and Tahiti, Nani juice has been held in high esteem for decades, with locals creating their own (a process that involves four months of fermentation, leading to a black juice jam-packed with goodness and probiotics).
