Noni (Morinda citrifolia) is a tree in the coffee family with very pungent fruit. The flavor of the fruit is similar to blue cheese or vomit. "Weird Explorer" on Youtube calls it "the worst fruit in the world" for this reason.[1] Some claim it has health benefits and consume it as a dietary supplement.
Although unpleasant to eat raw, it can be dried into a fruit leather that may have use as a strong cheese-like seasoning somehow.
Apparently the leaves are also used in Thai cuisine.
