Imagine a world where sour could taste sweet, where pure lemon juice can taste like sweet lemonade. Apparently, confusing your taste buds to make sour taste sweet is possible with the Miracle fruit plant. Found in West Africa, the miracle fruit plant produces berries (a.k.a. magic berry) that when eaten create an effect lasting for about 15 – 30 minutes where whatever you eat after has a different taste; mores specifically, sour or savory foods taste sweet. Veggie haters can actually enjoy that broccoli now!
This magic can also be found in tablet or a freeze-dried form, giving it a longer shelf life. I’m not 100% sold, there has to be a downside…. but I guess if they grow on trees they can’t be that bad? Ordering this magic berry online is the only means of purchasing it that I could come across and it costs a pretty penny at that!
…shame the berries don’t have the same effect on experiences other than food… like sour relationships… ;)

i like miracle berries. guiness is a chocolate milkshake. yum. it works. but not as well as advertised.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the berries from?? Adverts are always misleading, but I'd enjoy that choco milkshake any day :p
ReplyDeleteI've seen people take the pill, kind of strange really... not use to seeing people bite into slices of lemon and lime. :) like you said, still sketchy. Kind of nice to hear about the plant though.
ReplyDeleteI tried them once, a friend ordered them for his housewarming--grapefruits and lime were too sweet to eat even!
ReplyDeleteNo way that's an original idea for a housewarming... I need to experiment with these berries although I'm not sure what to eat if a lime was too sweet!
