 oni
fruit grows on a small tree or shrub found mainly in the lush tropical
island terrains of the Pacific islands. Noni has a long history and
is considered one of the most significant ingredients in traditional
medicines used by the Polynesian Kahunas, the healers of the islanders.
The fruit of the Noni plant looks
like a small, bumpy potato, green at first, turning to a yellowish
white when ripe. People living on the islands in present day French
Polynesia and Hawaii have used Noni for thousands of years.
Noni is believed to have been first used by the
ancient Polyneasian people about 5,000 years ago. The Noni plant was
spread throughout the tropical Island chains during the early
human migration in the South Pacific Ocean help to spread
Noni’s
journey to Hawaii is believed to have started 3,00 years ago from the
Island of New Guinea Northward to the islands of Fiji, Samoa, Tonga,
and then towards the Marquesas Islands through Tahiti arriving on what
is now the North shore of Oahu about 1,600 years ago.
The Pacific
Islanders began using Noni in all their preparations, making the Noni
fruit the healthy foundation of their civilization as they established
new villages. Noni fruit was called "canoe" fruit
because it was chosen by the pioneers as an important food to bring along
in their canoes as they ventured out to establish new villages across
the great expanse of the Pacific Ocean.
Traditionally, Noni has been used to treat numerous symptoms, such
as joint pain, immune problems, colds, infection, digestive disorders,
injuries and inflammation*. The ancient Polynesians also used Noni
for food and dye for cloth, but mainly it was used for its medicinal
properties.
TRU NONI uses traditional Hawaiian organic framing methods
to grow the Noni fruit in nutrient rich soil of the Hawaiian Islands.
TRU NONI is made with only ripe Noni fruit hand picked made the old fashion
Hawaiian way -- pure Noni juice with no fancy juice blends or water added,
just the freshest Noni fruit, pressed and bottled in its purest form.
