Chiku

Naturally rich in Vitamins A, C and E, calcium, magnesium, potassium, fructose, copper, iron and fibre, chiku is botanically known as Manilkara zapota. It's so rich in fibre that it can be used as a natural laxative. Thus it aids the digestive process. Chiku has anti-inflammatory tannins that reduce the risks of gastric disorders and acid reflux. These antioxidant tannins are also anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-parasitic. The chiku is also recommended for pregnant and nursing mothers due to its anti-nausea effects and carbohydrate levels
