Noni, also known as Indian Mulberry, is a tropical fruit whose value is not based on flavor or aroma, but on its traditional functional and medicinal use. It is not considered a gourmet product; when ripe, it develops a slightly bitter taste and a strong aroma, which are natural characteristics of the fruit.
Its primary importance lies in its health-related properties and benefits, making it more suitable for medicinal and functional applications rather than culinary uses. It is commonly used in functional juices, fermented beverages, extracts, and nutraceutical preparations.
