October is pear season, the one month of the year when pear flavor is at its tastiest, and it's something heavy drinkers should take note of: According to a government-funded study conducted in Australia, the Asian pear may be able to prevent feeling hung over after a night of drinking.

Tremendous find Toby!

I love all fruits BUT papaya, only have it on juice mixed with other fruits. Not thrilled by bananas either but on juice mixed with apples tastes great, apple+banana taste like coconut in a way

They eat those everywhere in Puerto Rico.

 

Taste ok but fucks up your mouth and tongue and the texture is kinda gross

Puerto Ricans love the Quenepas . Asian markets should have them. 

 

This small round fruit is about the size of an olive with a hard skin. Inside you’ll find a very sweet luscious fruit with a jelly like consistency, most people eat them fresh... but they can also be made into sauces, desserts, and juice.

 

Quenepa Fruit is full of fiber for lowering cholesterol and preventing constipation, also Vitamin A that boosts your immune system and prevents formation of urinary stones; Vitamin C which is very important as a great antioxidant; calcium which keeps your teeth and bones strong and helps prevent cancer; phosphorus which is important for digestion and regulating hormones.

 

Quenepa also contains a large amount of tryptophan which is important for good sleep... and lysine which is important for proper growth and for preventing herpes. 

 

Quenepa Fruit lowers blood pressure and helps with asthma, and because Quenepa is full of antioxidants (Phenolic Compounds) they also work to prevent cardiovascular disease, boost your immune system and prevent strokes.

 

Studies are being done on Quenepa as a anti-diabetic food because particular proteins in Quenepa lower blood sugar levels.

Quenepa is like the Noni fruit in costa rica except it would have to taste better

 

Noni fruit is sold in many farmers' markets and grocers throughout Costa Rica, and homeopathic products including noni juice and pills are widely available at local health food stores. Native to Southeast Asia and Australasia, noni is also known as morinda, Indian mulberry, beach mulberry or, thanks to its pungent aroma, the humorous epithets of cheese fruit and dog dumpling. The exotic tree is cultivated in tropical climates, mostly along rocky coasts, sandy shoreline or in shaded forests. 

Around the world, noni is renowned as a medicinal plant, and is often called nature's healer. In Costa Rica, archaeologists have unearthed native texts that describe traditional uses of not just noni fruit, but also the plant's seeds, blossoms, bark and roots. Scientific research has discovered that noni is high in vitamin C, niacin, potassium and iron, as well as proxeronine, an alkaloid important for cell function. 

Recent research has shown preliminary links between noni consumption and improvements in common illnesses. Traditional cultures and homeopathic remedies have long used noni juice and powders to cure a range of maladies; noni is purported to help:

  • Lower blood pressure
  • Combat menstrual cramps
  • Boost the immune system
  • Act as an anti-inflammatory
  • Relieve arthritis pain
  • Lower blood sugar
  • Lessen post-operative nausea
  • Regulate digestive system
  • Reduce allergies 

Additionally, noni is used to help prevent and combat certain diseases including urinary tract infections, Alzheimer's, heart disease, diabetes, and liver problems. The fruit is high in antioxidants, and has been used as an alternative treatment for cancer; some patients claim that the fruit helps them absorb nutrients, stay healthier and can even slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. 

Since noni's strong odor is accompanied by an equally sharp flavor that many find unpleasant, most juices and other preparations try to mask the flavor. To prepare fresh noni juice, try mixing the fruit with boiled water, sugar or honey and your favorite strong-flavored fruit – mango, papaya, or pineapple – to make the concoction
