RE: We Got Enough Noni For Juicing 👃 & Our New Low-Tech Home Water Filter 🚰
OMG You are the first person since I left Far North QLD (Daintree rainforest/Cairns area) that has ever mentioned Noni juice since!
And yes, not only do I remember the stink, but the rancid taste aswell, as my ex- who is from the Cook Islands, convinced me to drink a capful every morning for good health.
We also used to pick the Cheesefruit from the tree and let the sun leech the juices out in a glass jar until eventually we ran out and got some more from the trees...
I sort of miss it...🤣😱😳🤣
But I don't rememember if we ever used the leaves for cooking- he did most of the cooking- sensational traditional Polynesian dishes, so maybe he did use it...maybe not.
Also love the filtration system. AND I love the fact that you have a guest house! For me too??? 😃
I remember the first time an Aussie recognized this fruit in Cambodia, and I must admit I prefer the Australian name as it's much more accurate. I had always described the taste of noni as gym socks, pineapple, and blue cheese, and when I heard the name "cheesefruit," it felt so appropriate.
The leaves have a similar-ish smell when being cooked, and it only takes a few of the leaves to give a dish a hard to explain fishy-stinky kick. The guest cabin is coming along well, and I regret we don't have the financial means to call it our home. We'll have to rent it out for at least a few years to put a dent in the partial loan it took to buy this property. Right now I'm trying to decide if Cambodian and foreign guests will be able to handle the thought of a composting toilet.....
Lol...we can composting toilets over here a 'long drop'...we Aussies- well many of us anyway are used to roughing it, after all, where there is a tree...🤣
Yeah...still can't think if I ever ate the leaves in anything, but you're right- that smell certainly can't be mistaken for anything else.
Well I would love to be one of your paying guests one day...Might have to be next year, but who knows what will happen between now and then anyway!
But please Book me in!
