The Golden Truth of Chesa Fruit 

Medicinal and nutritional value 

It is actually considered a super food and is rich in amino acids-tryptophan, methionine, lysine (nearly as much protein as the avocado) and essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, carotene (provitamin A), niacin, riboflavin and high amount of dietary fiber, phosphorus and calcium. The decoction of the bark is used for the relief of fever. It is also applied on skin eruptions. A preparation of the seeds is used to treat ulcers and heal seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. Egg fruits are a magnificent originator of beta-carotene that is a tint found mostly inside the flesh. This flesh is then transformed into Vitamin A inside the body, which improves humans’ immune system and will provide protection against vision loss. 

Aside from those mentioned, Chesa is also found to be a fruit containing high antioxidant properties. In a study entitled “Functional components, alkaloid and saponin contents and antioxidant activity of Philippine grown fruits”, Chesa showed relatively high amounts of total phenols and antioxidants. These are nutritionally beneficial compounds that naturally occur in fruits and vegetables that act as the body’s shield and armor against illnesses and diseases, thus strengthening the body’s immune system and keeping us healthy and strong. So, instead of buying the same fruit from the market over and over again, why not try the Chesa Fruit and see for yourself the health benefits it offers. It’s one among the superfoods we need today!
