I am fascinated by the colour of UBE fruit. It ranges from bluish purple to redish violet. In the protocol of
healing with colours , we (colour therapists) have great regards for VIOLET colour.
The VIOLET RAY which is the colour of the 7th energy center popularly known as Chakra is indicated for
conditions such as cancer, tumor, nightmares, skeletal problems, addictions, karmic entanglements, spiritual
cleansing and infections of all types etc.
Very few fruits and vegetables have this highly energetic vibrational colour pattern. You can now understand
why you must pay attention to such few plants with VIOLTET colour when they are in season and try as much
as possible to incorporate them in your meals.
Putting aside the colour healing premise, what has science been able to say about the health benefits of
consuming UBE (Dacryodes edulis)?
1 . UBE as it is locally called among the Igbos is rich in palmitic and oleic acids which help patients suffering
from ATHEROSCLEROSIS .
2. UBE helps to lower BLOOD PRESSURE and also reduces the chances of a STROKE.
4.Regular consumption of UBE might lower the risk of age-related MACULAR DEGENERATION , the main
cause of vision loss in older adults.
5.UBE as a HYPOALLERGENIC fruit is, less likely to produce an adverse response than other fruits.
10. UBE contains minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and zinc.
11. UBE protects the TEETH from demineralisation due to its high level of calcium and phosphorus.
12. UBE is rich in Essential Amino Acids (EAA) such as lysine, leucine and threonine.
Now that you know, continue to enjoy UBE while the season lasts.
