Tropical - Miracle Berry
Miracle Berry (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a remarkable red berry originating from West Africa. It contains a unique glycoprotein called miraculin, which temporarily transforms sour and acidic flavours into sweetness — an effect that can last for one to two hours. Bite into a sour lemon after eating a Miracle Berry, and it will taste remarkably sweet! It has also been used to mask the bitterness of medicines, making it as practical as it is fascinating.
