Nutrition and Noni
Noni was revered by Polynesians for nutritional and medicinal uses long before they discovered Hawaii. Experience had taught the Polynesian that very few edible plants grew on previously uninhabited islands, so they brought along a traveling garden. When they set out in voyaging canoes to Hawaii they brought about two dozen varieties of plants, including noni. It was a central part of their traditional medicine and they considered it their most sacred healer for every conceivable imbalance. This plant is a small evergreen found in the open costal regions at sea level, as well as in forested areas up to 1,300 feet, and happily grows along lava flows.
