I lived in Kiribati for two years, and I can tell you that noni is much more palatable if you pick it when it’s softer. Still tastes like medicine, and is an acquired taste, but does keep you very healthy.

In some parts of Thailand we cook Noni before we eat it. You can either grill or boil it, but make sure that it's cooked and soft. It should help getting rid of strange smell and flavor of the fruit. In term of culinary... this fruit never be eaten alone but often throw in a salad with other kinds of vegetables or grounded and mix with meat and chilli.

Mahalo for a nice vid, lived in Micronesia and the Caribbean for many years and appreciate you sharing. The Noni should be eaten when fully ripe, it gets then squishy, the consistence of... a very soft overripe Kiwi... well just very soft. It smells kind of like cheese, and the taste reminds of blue cheese or stilton, and it actually tastes good with some Chia crackers or sort. Luv your hatchet!

A Lot of south american plants made it here a long time ago. Very cool. For instance in Hawai'i we have Uala. Im not sure what part of south america you are from but i know that Uala is a relative of Batatas (Sweet Potato). in April 2018 they did a test on South Polynesian sweet potato and found that it is a relative of South American Sweet Potato, and the genetics split around 100,000 years ago. No one really knows how it got from South America to South Polynesia though. Perhaps a Tsunami up rooted some and washed it to Polynesia and it propagated. Or 100,000 or more years ago the mountain range from Nazca to Rapa Nui then from Rapa Nui to Tahiti was mostly above the ocean and the plant propagated that way. Or Human civilization is far older than scientists are willing to give credit for and both of our ancestors were trading them. Either way Batatas got to Polynesia about 100,000 years before modern human history. Just a cool fact. www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-04488-4

Hey, maybe the oil is the Duct tape of the MacGyver of the tropics.) heart of palm, meat (does it still have water in?), and I've certainly overlooked some things. Creation is *awesome*!!

I live in NH, where it is difficult if you are foraging during winter and early spring. It is fun to see what are the different challenges in different climates.
