I decided to ask my friend and everyone that I come across about the fruits but many said they do not know the English name of the fruit but only know it as Ndiya which is our dialect name.

Well, I found out its English name is called Monkey Kola.

Ndiya like it is called in my dialect is fruits that have a brownish cover, firm orange or white flesh, and a big seed.

This fruit is seasonal as it always appear between the month of June to November. It is so nutritious and contains nutrients like fiber, vitamins, minerals, calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium zinc, and potassium.

The amusing part about this fruit is that it has a rich health benefit and many of us do not know about the fruits or its benefits.

It is always so good to know that the fruits we buy with our money, has great health benefits to us.

Let me give you a tip about the natural health benefits of Ndiya (Monkey Kola).
