The Noni is known throughout Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands and Australia under different names for its numerous nutritional qualities. Its use has been reported in these regions for thousands of years. Modern science has only recently recognized this fruit. Numerous companies have sprung up in the wake of the popular interest in the fruit. Certainly many more will develop down the line. All of these companies are offering wide variety of products. Few of these products, if any, consist of 100% Noni concentrate. Many are in fact blended with fruit or diluted with water to offset the unaccommodating taste of 100% Noni juice.

If you do not like the taste of Noni juice, you can mix it with other fruit juices or foods yourself. Mixing it with cranberry or orange juice seem to be the favorites. Some make fruit smoothies for breakfast and add their Noni juice to this cold treat.

While there is nothing wrong in purchasing Noni juice blended with fruit juice, the consumer should be wary of what he is buying. Some products contain only a trace of Noni juice. Yet the price is closer to forty dollars, which is exorbitant for just fruit juice! Many companies also import the pulp in bulk and use berry juice to give the product the look of a juice. Other companies reconstitute the juice from concentrates. They however sell it under the misleading appellation "pure noni juice". It is not even illegal to do so as the FDA regulations are quite lax in this respect. However, such products are quite far from being 100% Noni juice.

Most people prefer taking the 100% Noni juice together with other juices to attenuate this taste and add some nice flavor.

Why 100% Pure Noni?

~ There is more value for money as you don't have to pay for the cheaper juice; you blend those in yourself later.

~ One can make the juice mixture of one's choice. It is therefore possible to fit the 100% Noni juice to one's own tastes rather than rely on commercial blended ones.

~ One is sure of the quantity of 100% Noni juice that one is taking in any serving. This may be important for people who are obeying doctor's orders or are under medical supervision. For these people, taking anything else than 100% Noni juice can be detrimental.

100% Noni juice is very easily prepared and can also be done at home if one has the fruits. To manufacture 100% Noni juice, simply store the Noni fruits in a container and allow fermenting. Under the weight of the fruit itself, the 100% Noni juice will exude from the pulp, and then it can be collected and used.

However, the most nutritious Noni plants grow in the volcanic rich soil of the Hawaiian Islands, so most people do not have access to the fruit as soon as it's ripe. Of course, it has lost most of the nutrients within twenty four hours, even if was picked when completely ripe. To make the best Noni Juice, the fruit must be harvested and processed when completely ripe.
