The miracle fruit, also known as the Synandra Vaginata or the Synandra Intensis, is a small purple berry native to West Africa. When consumed, the miracle fruit changes your perception of taste. It’s not that there is any different taste with this berry—it’s just that your perception of what you are tasting changes. You see, the miracle fruit contains a protein called “miraculin” which temporarily modifies your sour taste receptors when you consume something acidic like lemon or vinegar. The result: things that normally taste sour to you instead taste sweet and vice versa!

What does the Miracle Fruit taste like?
The miracle fruit actually has no discernable taste itself. The miracle fruit changes the way your tongue tastes other things. Anything sour will taste sweet and anything bitter will taste sweet. It is a rare and unusual phenomenon that has no explanation. Because of this, it is often eaten in social settings in order to experience this bizarre and unique taste sensation.

How to eat the miracle fruit
There are two ways to eat the miracle fruit. The first is to simply eat it as you would an apple. The second is to dip the miracle fruit in a bowl of water with a little bit of citric acid. Citric acid is what triggers the change in taste on your tongue. The fruit is not edible uncut, and once the taste has been activated, it must be eaten within 15 minutes because it only lasts for that long.

Why is the Miracle Berry called a 'Miracle'?
The berry has been called a miracle because of the way it temporarily changes the way your tongue perceives sour and bitter tastes. If you like sour food, you will like this berry. You will taste things like vinegar, lemon, and orange juice as sweet. This is because the miracle berry has a protein called “miraculin” which temporarily modifies your sour taste receptors when you consume something acidic like lemon or vinegar.

Possible Health Benefits
The miracle berry has been used as a folk remedy in Africa for hundreds of years. It has been used for indigestion and to help with colds and flus as well as digestive issues. The berry has also been used to treat stomach ulcers and to help with weight loss. The reason the miracle berry has been thought to treat so many different illnesses is because it temporarily changes how your tongue tastes. This means that things that taste sour to you like citrus, vinegar, and lemon will taste sweet when you eat the miracle berry. The sour taste is often associated with digestive issues like indigestion and acid reflux. This means that when your miracle berry has temporarily changed your sense of taste, your digestive system may be more regulated.

Where to Buy Miracle Fruit
The miracle berry is not widely available. You can attempt to buy them online, but they are difficult to ship and they don’t last very long. You can also find miracle berry juice, but that is actually not as effective as eating the berry itself. You can also grow the miracle berry in your backyard, though you will need to wait for a few years for it to bear fruit.

How To Grow Miracle Fruit
The miracle berry grows in warm, humid, and wet environments. This means that you will need to plant the plant in a spot where it can get the right amount of sunlight yet be protected from the rain. You will also need to keep the soil moist. The miracle berry is actually a vine that grows on trees or vines. You can grow it indoors or out. You will also need to keep the soil moist and fertilize it as needed.

Final Words
The miracle berry is an interesting and unique food item that will give you a taste sensation you have never experienced before. While the berry itself is not very nutritious, the taste sensation it causes is unique and interesting. It is something that is fun to try with friends and family.
