Super Fruit Series: Noni Berry


Noni berries, also known as Indian Mulberry, is a green, lumpy, fruit that is about the size and shape of potato.  Noni berries are native to tropical areas of the South Pacific and Australia.   

Noni berries have been used by natives of the Pacific islands for over 2,000 years for its medicinal qualities. However, only recently has the use of the plant and its fruit as a natural supplement become popular in the Western Hemisphere.

There is limited information out there on Noni, but based on the studies that have been done -  Noni is a powerful antioxidant that is cholesterol-friendly, increases energy, supports a healthy cardiovascular system, boosts the immune system, and presents anti-inflammatory properties. 


We try to find Noni in juice form and add it to our morning shake.  Noni juice can be a bit pricey, but remember that you only need a little bit!  You can also take Noni as a supplement.

Keep in mind, you don't have to eat every super fruit, every day. Look for different fruits when you're grocery shopping and change it up.  Your body needs different nutrients and having variation in your diet will provide this.

We found this article on Noni that we thought was worth sharing:
