Hunting for Another "Strawberry"
Medicinal Fruits from Southeast Asia
My wife's mother, had long suffered high blood pressure, I saw she was at home always looks like confusion, frequent headaches, and her vision is blurry, often taking the medication of hospitals, but hypertension is reduced only for a few moments. Once in a while I saw he made the juice of the noni fruit, native fruit from Southeast Asia. This afternoon I took the initiative to seek the fruit.
Noni has so many seeds, so as to make it as medicine or when we consume, we must separate the seeds from the flesh. or if we want to, we can also eat all the seeds. Although it has the same shape as the strawberry, but it's not like strawberry. Strawberry has a sour taste and sweet, while the noni fruit has a bitter taste. Understandably, because the fruit is indeed functioning as a medicine or a natural herb.

In addition to juicing, not infrequently, the people also eat this fruit with raw, simply by dipping it in salt, to reduce the bitter taste. The fruit is also often used as soup, which collaborated with shrimp, this also meant that reduce the bitter taste from this fruit. Noni soup is a traditional menu, which until now was not found in restaurants and food stalls. That's only a traditions in homes that are in the village of countryside, and only old people who know about the benefits from this fruit, until now already widely spread on the internet and magazine articles about it.
Noni fruit which has more medication is that the tree grows itself, usually grows in the forest and near marshes. I toured in several areas, and did not see any of the noni tree were to bear fruit, there are some, but its fruit is not yet ripe. Noni fruit color that already ripe is green, yellowish, while the young fruit is still green, like the ripe color of more fruit.
I eventually found this tree grows alongside the reservoir, there are many noni tree, and had many fruitful. I stopped my vehicle, then headed out to the edge of the swamp to pick some of them. Wild noni fruit has a small size, compared to regular noni fruit growing at the yard.
Look, this is the result I got today, I brought this fruit home for my mother-in-law consumption, I do not know, she's going to make juice or eat them raw. I store this fruit in the refrigerator. I am still not able to eat it, because it tastes bitter. Of course, there are dozens of other benefits of this fruit for health.

I like that you point out that noni fruit is used for food, too - to eat raw, cook in soup, and used in other traditional foods. Some of the fruit you show, still has flowers, too. Are those ripe enough to eat? Or do you leave them on the bush? Are the ones you picked ripe? Thanks!
That's for my mother in-law consumption... I saw she have eaten that with raw, sometime she made juice and soup. Soon I'll write about that... :)
I'm looking forward to those posts about using noni fruit for food, especially. Tell your mother thank you for sharing what she knows! And here's to her continued health!
Thanks @haphazard-hstead. I hope it too...

It's an informative piece. Thank you for that.
However I'd hazard that you're not a native English speaker, which is very apparent given the rather jarring errors scattered throughout the copy.
I would kindly suggest you seek out the services of an editor for a little light editing/proofreading before you publish.
Cheers.
Thanks. I'll fix it, but where that you're not understand?
