We find nonis very healing. We mostly use noni in juices like the combination of grapes and noni. Also we make guacanoni, that is a mix between noni and avocado to add to our salads. We love it.
How do you keep the animals from eating your food? Just one monkey can eat all your fruits in few days. These fruits are not readily available in nature.
We keep ourselves surrounded by native forest, we see frequently monkeys passing by from tree to tree in the native area but they don't come close to our fruit forest area. We had the case that three pineapples eaten by an animal called "guatusa" but normally speaking until the moment most of the animals don't eat our fruits.
