Noni fruit is a small, odorous fruit that is native to Asia and Australia. Many people use noni fruit for its possible health benefits, including boosting the immune system and repairing damaged cells. [1] You can try a noni fruit by eating it plain, or you can blend it into a juice and drink it.

  1. That's when the noni fruit is fully ripened. If your noni fruit is hard and white or green, it’s not ripe yet. [2]
    • Don't try to eat your noni fruit before it's ripe or the skin will be too tough to chew and swallow.
  2. Cutting noni fruit can get messy, so it’s best if you cut it on something. That way you can eat it right then and there or transfer it to a plate for serving. [3]

  3. Cut the slices so they’re about .25 inches (0.64 cm) thick. If your noni fruit is really ripe, it may fall apart slightly as you’re cutting it because of how mushy it is. If one of the slices falls apart, just continue slicing the fruit. [4]
  4. Noni fruit contains a lot of seeds on the inside that are safe to eat. If you don’t want to eat the seeds, spit them out into a napkin or trash can as you’re eating the slices of noni. [5]
  5. Sprinkle salt onto the noni fruit slices. Then, grab a slice of cheese and sandwich it between your fingers with the noni. Eat the cheese and noni together in one bite. [6]

  1. You want to wait until your noni fruit is ripe before you use it to make juice. When the fruit is tender and a translucent yellow color, it’s ripe. If your noni fruit is hard and a green or white color, it’s not ripe yet. [7]
    • One noni fruit will make enough juice for 2 people.
  2. Don’t worry about cutting up the noni fruit before you put it in the blender. Blend the fruit and water until they are well blended into a thick juice. [8]
  3. You may need to put a funnel in the jug to help guide the blended noni juice into it. Use a spoon or spatula to scrape the noni juice out of the blender into the sieve. [9]
  4. Run the spatula over the surface of the sieve so the thick noni juice goes through the small holes and into the glass jug. Continue doing this until all of the juice, except for the seeds, has gone through the sieve. Discard the seeds. [10]
  5. You should be able to fill up 2 glasses with the amount of noni juice you made. If you don’t use all of the noni juice, seal the jug and place it in the refrigerator.
  6. Honey and fruit juice will sweeten the noni juice, making it taste less bitter. Just pour your glass of noni juice and then add honey or fruit juice to taste. [11]

  1. Keep the fruit on a counter or in a bowl away from direct sunlight. After 3-4 days, the noni fruit will start to go bad. [12]
  2. After 3 weeks, the noni juice will start to ferment. Store the noni juice in a sealed glass jar or jug. Write the date on the outside of the container so you remember how long it's been in the fridge for. [13]
  3. Put the noni fruit in a sealable freezer bag and press out the excess air with your hands. Write the date on the bag so you know how long it's been in the freezer for. [14]
