What is the miracle behind the Miracle fruit?

Miracle Fruit, synsepalum dulcificum

๐Ÿฅฐ What is the miracle behind the Miracle fruit?
  • ๐Ÿญ Miracle Fruit, synsepalum dulcificum is a small, red berry that can temporarily make sour foods taste sweet. The berry contains a protein called miraculin, which binds to taste buds and alters the way sour foods are perceived. Sour turns into sweet!
  • ๐Ÿญ Native to West Africa, this fruit has been used for centuries as a natural sweetener and is often enjoyed at "flavor-tripping" parties.
  • ๐Ÿญ It's also used by chemotherapy patients to help improve their sense of taste, as it can make bitter or metallic-tasting foods more palatable.
