Noni
Noni is the fruit of Morinda citrifolia, recognizable when ripe by a strong, pungent aroma. It is often sold as juice or a supplement rather than an ordinary sweet dessert fruit.
Caribbean uses
Its presence in herbal-product markets should be distinguished from a customary Caribbean dessert. A menu should not promise health benefits or conceal noni in a fruit salad.
Preparation and storage
Discuss any herbal-product use with an appropriate health professional when relevant. For a shared fruit course, choose a familiar food fruit with clear guest acceptance instead.
