Miracle berries are...miraculous

If you ever have a chance to try miracle fruit, do it! It will be one of the most bizzarest things you will ever taste.

Miracle Fruit

The fruit is grown in Florida and when fresh, looks a bit like cranberries. I have never seen it for sale in Canada and have yet to try it fresh, but I'm hopeful!









The fruit has an amazing property—after you chew it, all food or drink for a couple of hours afterwards, tastes incredibly sweet, like candy.

Dried Miracle Fruit Tablets

I purchased a dried, tablet version last year from ThinkGeek and the food experiments began.

The most popular trial in our house—fresh lemons. After chewing on a tablet, a bite of fresh, sour lemon tasted like sweet, lemony candy. Quite amazing and delicious. It was so funny how everyone who tried it, kept on eating and asking for more lemons, exclaiming how delicious they tasted.

An interesting side note about miracle fruit is the theory about a conspiracy that prevented the fruit from becoming an accepted form of  low calorie sugar substitute.
