Just Found Out, It Turns Out That This Fruit Has Many Benefits
Steemian friends...
This fruit has long been planted in the yard of Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 2 Bireuen, Bireuen Regency. But I never knew the name and benefits of a fruit that looks beautiful, has a smooth skin and is quite large in size.
Out of curiosity, two days ago while on duty there, I took some photos and then looked for some references on the internet. I was very happy when I found a number of references about this fruit.
Sourced from the internet wikipidia apparently this fruit is called the maja fruit, or in Latin it is called (Aegle marmelos). This fruit comes from a tree-shaped plant that is resistant to harsh environments but easily sheds its leaves and comes from tropical and subtropical Asia.
According to Wikipedia, this plant is capable of growing in harsh environmental conditions, in extreme temperatures, for example from 49°C in the dry season to minus 7 °C in the winter. It also grows at an altitude of up to +1,200 meters.
Still according to Wikipedia, in Southeast Asia, maja plants can only flower and bear fruit well if there is a marked dry season, and is not usually found at elevations above 500 meters. Maja plants are also able to adapt in marshy areas, in dry soils, and are tolerant of slightly alkaline soils
While the outer skin of the maja fruit is green, shiny, and very tempting. But the contents are yellow or orange. When it is cooked, it is black in color.
Oh yes, the maja fruit that has been growing and bearing fruit in the courtyard of MAN 2 Bireuen and never seems to be used turns out to have many benefits. Here are some of the benefits of maja fruit that I quoted on one of the website pages indtimes.com include:
• Can treat diarrhea and dysentery;
• Help treat high blood pressure;
• Overcoming excessive nausea and vomiting during pregnancy;
• Can also be used as a medicine to speed up the recovery of internal and external wounds;
• Can treat asthma;
• Able to treat anemia;
• And improve concentration.
That's all friends, hopefully it will be useful.
