noni
Polynesian medicinal plant
Noni is a tropical fruit from a tree native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands.
The fruit has a pungent, cheese-like odor when ripe, earning it names like "cheese fruit" and "vomit fruit." Despite the smell, noni juice is marketed as a health supplement with claimed benefits ranging from immune support to pain relief, though scientific evidence remains limited.
