Fruits that are found to be rich in multi-phytochemicals are being considered as ‘super’ fruits due to their unique antioxidants. Gac fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng), is one of those ‘super’ fruits found to be rich in phytonutrients because of its portions such as aril, seeds, pulp and peel which have been widely used in folk healing and ancestral medicine.
