🍋 🎂 How to make sour taste sweet and what causes the miracle?

  • 🍭Miracle Fruit, Synsepalum dulcificum - is one of the strangest tropical fruit that makes sour taste sweet!
  • 🍭 The miracle is that if lemon or other sour food is eaten after the miracle fruit, the sour tastes sweet, as if sugar has been added. That kind of magical experience is unforgettable!
  • 🍭 A natural chemical in the fruit masks the tongue sour taste buds so that lemons taste like lemonade or lemon pie, or lemon candy! The sweet sensation lasts for half an hour to a few hours.
  • 🍭 Miracle fruit berries are valued as a food supplement for chemo-therapy patients to improve the taste of food.
  • 🍭 This small, evergreen shrub grows very slowly to a height of 4-6 ft in container, and 6-10 ft in natural habitat. A 10 years old plant might be easily only 4-5 feet tall. It forms an oval to pyramidal shaped bush or small tree.
  • 🍭 Miracle fruit is a small compact bush, and can be a rewarding indoor plant. It can be grown in a 1-3 gal pot and produce most of the year. Seed to fruit in 2 to 3 years. Flower to fruit in 30 to 45 days.
