                                 Noongu   is   known  as   the  " Ice  apple  of  south " for   its  cooling   effect   and   translucent   ice- like  flesh.  It   contains   minerals   especially   phosphorus   and   calcium.   It   is   extremely   cooling   the   body   and   it  contains  B  complex   vitamins   like  thiamine   and   riboflavin   and   no  fat   or   carbohydrates.   It   is   also   used  in  traditional   therapy   to   cure   stomach   and  skin  disorders.
                               Pregnant  women   particularly   benefit  it  since  it  improves   digestion   and   acidity  problems.   It  is  also  a  healthier  alternative  to  colas  which  are  high  in  calories  and  sugar.
