so that’s what it’s called. there’s a small tree beside our house and i always wondered what that tree was–because of the pine-cone/weird guyabano/atis-y looking fruit and the flowers that sprout out of it. hehe, i remember that noni juice when it was so popular. a cure-all tonic… now there’s another kind of juice that’s popular for its health benefits, i just can’t remember what it is right now.

I think it is also called apatot. Used to be sold in Quiapo at the height of the Noni craze a few years ago.

Noni and mangosteen healing juices have their own followers up until this time allegedly for their miracle prowess to combat diabetes to cancer. I assume itâ€™s all in one ownâ€™s faith and belief which I totally respect. Noni is still around marketed in a traditional Tupperware set up. Itâ€™s more like a pyramid – whoever recruited you will make money out of your sales! This is the first time I have seen the picture of the tree and its miracle and odd looking fruits.
