NONI FOOD RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 cup of the warm water, yeast and sugar together and let proof for 10 minutes. When froth appears, sprinkle 1/2 tsp of flour on top and let it continue to proof for 5 minutes more. The froth will rise quickly.
• Put flour in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle salt over it. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add oil and the yeast mixture. Stir to mix and add small amounts of the water until you have produced a soft, moist dough that can be handled.
• Knead dough well for 5 minutes. Put dough ball back in bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1 1/2 hours.
• When risen for 1 1/2 hours, punch down. Divide dough into 8 equal parts and roll each into a ball. Roll each ball into an oval shape 6 to 7 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Draw tines of a fork along the length of each noni for a decorative design, if desired.
• Mix egg yolk and 1 T water, paint each noni with this mixture. Sprinkle cumin seeds or caraway seeds on top of each noni (black cumin seeds are traditional but caraway may be substituted). Put on ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Prep time does not include rising time.

Steps:

• Wait for the Noni fruit to ripen. You can tell that it’s ripe when the skin turns translucent and feels thin (It also stinks, so keep the noni fruit in an airtight container as it ripens)
• Rinse the fruit well before use
• Blend the noni fruit with ½ – 1 cup of water until it is a smooth consistency
• Sieve the blended mix into a container (to take out the seeds)
• Pour 30ml of the noni juice into a cup (that’s about 1 shot glass)
• Fill the rest of the cup (to taste) with ice and grape juice(grape works best to mask the smell!). We often blend the mix again with the ice to make it into a smoothie!
