But irrespective of the price, here are a few tips to ascertain whether the noni juice you have is high-quality or not.
* Bubbles - Shake the bottle to see if bubbles form. If the bubbles dissipate instantly, it means that there is a higher concentration of water than noni juice in it. * Color - When you shake the bottle, look if the color of the bubbles is brownish. This implies purity. * Residue - Good noni juice usually has plenty of residue at the bottom. Turn the bottle upside down and note how much residue is visible. * Taste and smell - Finally, observe the taste and smell of the noni juice. Noni is strong smelling stuff and it is definitely an acquired taste. If it has been flavored with other fruit juices, it may not be pure.
