Pure Noni Juice - Are You Getting The Real Thing?

By Nathan Marks

When you see the phrase pure noni juice, it means that this is noni juice which has not been blended with other juices and does not have any added sugar, flavorings or preservatives.

For some people, pure noni juice also means that it is unpasteurized however most noni juice products on the market (including pure noni juice) for safety reasons do go through the pasteurization process. More often than not, pure noni juice is made from organically grown noni that has been allowed to age and ferment naturally for a period of 3 to 6 months. This makes for a more concentrated juice packed full of all the beneficial vitamins and nutrients that the noni fruit contains.

However, just because a given product is labeled as pure noni juice this does not mean that it is of the highest quality. This is because products labeled as pure noni juice can have varying quantities of vitamins and other nutrients and can also differ in flavor. Much depends on what stage of ripeness the fruit was at the time it was harvested and also the way in which it was processed. Noni which has been picked when not quite ripe will not ferment as easily as noni fruit which has already ripened. When noni is picked at full ripeness, the aging process will produce a juice which has a better flavor and a higher nutritional content. This results in a much higher quality pure noni juice product.

Some producers have a track record of harvesting the fruit too early and making noni products (including pure noni juice) which are of inferior quality than those which are made by manufacturers who harvest their fruit when ripe. The fermentation and aging process can take up to six months - the longer the fruit is allowed to age, the better the quality of the finished product.

Another factor to consider is that while many companies market their products as being pure noni juice, for instance as stated on the label, it is not in fact always pure. The product might just contain the pulp or an extract which is then mixed with other juices to give it the appearance of being pure noni juice. There are even products available with only minute amounts of actual noni juice and which nevertheless are marketed as being pure.

To make sure that you're really buying pure noni juice, always check the label carefully before purchasing. Look at what's contained - what you want is pure noni juice and nothing else; if other fruit juices are listed on the label, you'll want to keep looking for another product.

The origin of the juice is another clue to its quality; the best noni (and thus the best pure noni juice) comes from Hawaii, Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands. These are places with volcanic soil which is ideal for growing noni. As long as you're looking at the label, you may want to check to see if the pure noni juice product you're looking at is pasteurized.

Now the FDA is not particularly diligent when it comes to evaluating whether products claiming to be pure are indeed pure. So you will always need to check this for yourself. Another option if you have the time and energy would be to purchase some noni fruit and allow it to ferment at home. This will certainly ensure that you are getting a pure product. All you have to do is place the noni in a bowl. The pressure within the fruit as it ferments will cause the juice to seep which you then collect. You might want to check though where the noni fruit you are buying was grown.

Ultimately, it's up to you to make sure that you're buying juice which is really pure noni juice and not something which contains just a minuscule amount of noni. Read labels and purchase only pure noni juice products - only these will give you the full array of health benefits which this juice provides. - 17274
