Kaong is rich in fiber and aids in digestion, and contains carbohydrates for an energy boost. The carbohydrates found in kaong are known as galaktomannan, which is used as a base material for arthritis drugs, and naturally reduce inflammation in the joints. Kaong is also high in calcium, making it a good alternative for those who are allergic to cow’s milk. The raw sap of the kaong fruit has also been shown to help with relief from hives and itching of the skin.
