May 19th, 2011

The Miracle Fruit Plant (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a plant first documented in 1725 during a journey to its origin West Africa. Resident tribes picked the berry from shrubs and munched it ahead of meals. Miracle Fruit berries include a harmless active glycoprotein that for a short time gently binds to the tongue’s taste buds, causing bitter and sour foods, such as lemons and rhubarb, eaten thereafter eating miracle fruit, to taste sweet. It is quite straightforward to use: just chew the fruit or liquefy one “tablet” on your tongue and the result will last from 10 minutes to 2 hours, depending mostly on what you eat. Just as the effect wears off, everything tastes back to normal. b3ry512
