Noni power

Months ago, I once tried a fresh organic Noni juice. I blended with some water without adding any other sweet fruit nor honey as I was directed to. My Costa Rican family praised me how brave I am, and also told me I could eat anything if I can tolerate Noni. I have heard that Noni is an amazing medicine that cures everything, but that one glass of Noni didn't do much for me.
But this weekend, I was convinced that I have to at least try 5 days to see the result. As I still have some minor skin problem, so I have decided to give Noni another chance.
When I mentioned my interest, the Taiwanese family packed a whole bunch of fresh Noni (they have a beautiful organic Noni tree but they hardly eat them) for me to bring back to Guanacaste. Didn't realize how much Noni they have packed, so I was pleasantly surprised there were 32 of them!!! I only needed 10 (2 each day* 5 days).... Well, my kitchen now is full of wonderful Noni aroma (hopefully my roommate does not mind....)

I've tried one ripe Noni last night and it tasted sharp and spicy, very different from what I have tasted before. To my surprise, it was easy to drink.
32 noni with leaves (Noni leave: cook with water and it's water supposed to cure skin problem)
