Companies market two types of Noni juice. The first is Noni juice blended with water and/or other less expensive juice flavors. The second type is 100% pure Noni juice processed in one of two ways: fermented and fresh pressed or squeezed.

Noni juice blended with water and/or other juice concentrates
Blended Noni juice is a very common way that companies market Noni in the industry. The companies that sell blended Noni juice add the additional flavors as a way of masking the taste of Noni juice in its pure form. Diluting Noni juice for taste weakens the potency of the Noni. When you are shopping for a Noni brand be sure to read the label to understand what other ingredients may have been added.

Fermented Noni fruit juice
The first processing method of pure Noni juice is fermentation. The Noni fruit is picked in its ripe stage, washed and placed into a large fermentation container to which some companies add water. The juice from the Noni fruit separates from the fruit pulp, fermenting naturally for 2 to 6 months. Afterwards, the juice is drained from the fermentation vessel and bottled. Fermented Noni has a darker appearance similar to textured soy sauce, and characteristically has a bitter, sour taste.

Fresh-pressed Noni fruit juice
The other common processing method of pure Noni juice is fresh pressed. The Noni fruit is picked ripe, when it appears light yellow and translucent white. The fruit is washed and is pressed using a mechanical device into glass or plastic containers, not allowing the juice to ferment. The juice is then pasteurized or refrigerated to preserve the juice. Fresh-pressed or squeezed Noni juice has a sweeter (less acidic), fruitier flavor than fermented Noni juice.

Many people think that one bottle is just as good as another. However, research shows that glass bottles have several advantages over plastic bottles. Glass is chemically inert and acts as an excellent, impermeable and nonporous barrier, unlike plastic bottles. The atmosphere inside a glass container is pure and does not affect the Noni juice inside, unlike plastic which may emit chemicals into a sealed bottle. Glass can be recycled and does not harm the environment in the way that the manufacture of plastic does.

Look for glass as your container of choice. It may be more expensive, but the money is well worth it to provide the highest level of protection from the outside environment and to ensure a longer shelf life for your Noni juice.

Once you have determined the type of Noni juice you prefer, blended or 100% pure, and whether you want to buy it in a glass or plastic bottle, the next step is to determine how much you want to spend. There are a wide range of bottle sizes and prices. Some products you will find serving sizes based on tablespoons and other ounces. With these differences, the easiest way to compare prices is to divide the price for the Noni juice into the size of the bottle giving you a price per ounce.

There is a lot of information to digest as you go through your Noni juice buying decision process. There are many Noni products on the market all saying something different about Noni juice. It is our hope that the information presented here will be helpful to you.
