Morinda
citrifolia
A number of nutritional supplements are available in today's health food stores. These are merely new discoveries of the old cures, of the old medicine. One such rediscovered natural health aid is Noni - Morinda Citrifolia
Knowledge of
noni's health benefits has been passed from parents to children for
countless generations in all the tropical countries. For
example, in Panama and Colombia, noni is a fruit which can be freely
purchased in the market place. Department stores offer both the noni
pulp and the noni juice.
Borojoa patinoi Pictures:
The borojo tree needs a lot of shade, and usually grows in the shade of other trees. The female tree has a single flower, while the male tree has multiple flowers.
Only the female tree will produce fruit. We are including pictures of both the female and the male tree, as well as pictures of the fruit at different stages of development.
These
pictures were taken in an experimental borojo farm at the border
between Panama and Costa Rica, in Chiriqui Province of Panama.
The growing conditions are however not the same as the ones
in Darien jungle, where the borojo is growing in a wild environment, in
a dense rain forest.
