Yesterday my boyfriend was busy in the kitchen, and he was using the blender. Sometimes in the evenings, he will make us a frozen frappe coffee for a treat, and they are so delicious.

I assume he is making them; I am instantly sad because I gave up coffee and sugar — again this week.

So I was happy to see that he was making juice instead.

Except I had no idea from what; we were in desperate need of a grocery store run, but apparently, we had some borojó in the freezer.

So you are maybe wondering what this is, as was I.

First, what is it?

Borojó is a fruit that mainly contains fructose and glucose and protein, phosphorus and vitamin B and C, and calcium and iron — used to make jams, candies, and wine. It is also known as the juice of love and has aphrodisiac properties.

Where does it originate?

The plant originated in the Amazon and is found around Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama.

Some of the medicinal benefits are:

· Helps improve impotence in men

· Bronchial conditions

· Malnutrition

· Hypertension
