Smaller
than a grape, the synsepalum dulcificum fruit
from Ghana in West Africa actually changes how your taste buds
respond
to sour, bitter or bland tasting food.
Nicknamed the "Miracle fruit" or "Miracle berry", is causing sensations in kitchens Worldwide with it's natural ability to sweeten any dish.
Not only that, people who have in the past struggled to enjoy healthier foods are using the "Miracle Fruit" to eat less of those unhealthy sweeter foods and dramatically improve their dietary plans - enjoying healthier foods with a sweeter taste!
Known as the Miracle Fruit; Miracle Berries; Miracle Berry; Magic Berry; or the Flavour Berry, it contains the natural ingredient named Miraculin. Miraculin fools your taste buds into believing that sour bitter foods taste sweet!
The BBC:
" You can eat a berry and then bite into a lemon," says Harvey. "It
becomes not only sweeter, but it will be the best lemon you've tasted in your
life."

The Independent:
*Lemons:
Citric fruits are a fruit droppers' favourite tipple because the
effect is so dramatic. For me, the effect was quite simply astounding.
I was able to munch my way through an entire lemon without a squint.
The sour tang had been completely replaced by a smooth sugary taste,
a little like a sherbert lemon or homemade lemonade.
*Vinegar:
Vinegar tasted nothing like it did before when I had nearly vomited
trying to swallow a gulp down. Although it still tasted like vinegar,
the acidic tones had completely disappeared and had taken on an
almost treacle taste.

The Telegraph:
The berries may also have significant health benefits.
It is possible they could be used as a natural sweetener in foods
for diabetics or as a supplement to help people lose weight without
being tempted by sugary treats.
Some fruit growers even claim the berries are popular with cancer
patients who undergo chemotherapy, because they can help diminish
the unpleasant aftertaste.

The Daily Mail:
It sounds like something Willy Wonka might have invented
at his chocolate factory - a berry that can make everything sour
taste sweet.
Lemons lose their sharpness, vinegar tastes like sherry and a pint
of Guinness comes to resemble chocolate milkshake.
After huge success in the U.S., the so-called 'miracle fruit' is
proving a big hit at parties in Britain.
Anything they subsequently eat will taste much sweeter than before.
The effects last up to two hours.

The New York Times:
The miracle fruit, Synsepalum dulcificum, is native to
West Africa and has been known to Westerners since the 18th century.
The cause of the reaction is a protein called miraculin, which
binds with the taste buds and acts as a sweetness inducer when
it comes in contact with acids, according to a scientist who has
studied the fruit, Linda Bartoshuk at the University of Florida’s
Center for Smell and Taste. Dr. Bartoshuk said she did not know
of any dangers associated with eating miracle fruit.

Alyssa's miracle fruit taste tripping party
The flavour tripping party was a huge success. Everyone was really amazed at the vinegar and citrus food items.
The beers were dramatically different and cheap margaritas tasted like top shelf!
Thanks a bunch for this great new food experience!

It definitely does what it claims to. I took one before I drank
my glass of water with vinegar in it and it tasted sweet and pleasant
with no bitter aftertaste.

Oh my goodness! The treat starts
when the little tablet is dissolving on your tongue. It has such
a lovely flavour - kind of fruity -
but sweet only in a pleasant way. Doesn't make you feel sick or
funny, no artificial flavour.
I'm still experimenting - but so
far can't get over how sweet and lovely even a slice of tomato
now tastes.
What I can't get over
is that it is is kind of like how you think the food should really
taste. Cherries and blueberries are now like nectar. My plain
yoghurt also now has different taste, no need for honey, actually
tastes
nicer. Can't wait to find other foods to try.
Can't rate this harmless
buy trippy treat high Enough!
Miss C Temple, London, UK
Miracle berries have been very
useful to me, as a way of getting my boyfriend to eat more fruit
- Grapefruit is particularly nice,
which is something he would never have eaten. The berries can also
be used for making a game out of eating different things, which
can help children eat more healthily.
I have also started holding
parties, where everyone brings some food and we all try different
things. The berries are fun and also beneficial to health

Tamworth, UK
Wow! After seeing these on TV I thought no way these can work. But I had to give them a go and how wrong I was.
I've been having fun making everyone I know try them, they can't believe that lemons and limes could taste sweet.
They are great fun to experiment or just to watch your mates face as he downs a shot of sweet vinegar.
Highly recommended!
