Miracle Berry (Synsepalum dulcificum)

is a plant native to West Africa. The berry has a mildly sweet flavor; however,

the fruit is treasured not for its own taste, but for the fruit’s unique effect on

the taste buds. Miracle Fruit contains a glycoprotein called miraculin, which

binds to the tongue’s taste buds when the fruit is consumed. Miraculin acts as

a sweetness inducer when it comes in contact with acids, causing bitter and

sour foods to taste sweet, temporarily. This effect usually lasts between 30

minutes and 2 hours.

Ingredient: Dried Miracle berry 

Instruction:

Put one berry in your mouth and gently scrape the fleshy part off the seed.
Swirl it around your mouth for 1-2 minutes before swallowing.

Is miracle berry safe?

Miracle berry has no known adverse side effects.  West Africans have chewed

miracle berries before their meals for centuries, to get those unusual sweet

hits from otherwise sour food. Europeans became aware of the berry in 1725,

when French explorer Mr. Chevalier des Marchais described its use, no harmful

side effects have been reported.

How miracle berry work?

According to the experiments of Ms. Ayako Koizumi from the University of

Tokyo, she showed that miraculin does stick directly to sweet receptors,

and it latches on more strongly than do other conventional sweeteners like

aspartame or saccharin. In neutral conditions, neither acidic nor alkaline,

miraculin stops these other sweeteners from getting a hold on the sweet

receptors. It actually represses the receptors, stopping them from doing

their job. Under acidic conditions, the opposite happens – miraculin

supercharges the sweet receptors. It distorts them into an active shape,

while also making them extra-sensitive to sweeteners like aspartame. Here,

then, is what happens when you chomp on a miracle berry. Miraculin sits on

your sweet receptors for an hour or so. For most of that time, it silences the

receptors, which is why the fruit itself tastes of very little. Whenever you take

a bite or swig of something acidic, miraculin gains a few extra protons and

changes shape. In doing so, it also changes the shape of the sweet receptors

it has stuck to, sending them into a signalling frenzy.

Find out how we farming:

Our farm is located at the Organic farming park in the south part of

Taiwan.

This is the alley to our farm. Find no tire trace, right? It's a control

zone to avoid pollution caused by any gas vehicle or machine.

Here you are! This is our Miracle berry Farms M01. Screen-house

culture cost is high but the return is best quality as we expecting.

Find no 'RED' berry among the greens? No worry, they're still there.

Wow! So many grass over the farm. No, not me lazy...

Bugs eat grass on the ground that also protect berries at the same

time. Symbiosis? Ya, saving cost too.

See the Miracle berry bud and flowers. Not many, right? Excise the

quantity of bud is necessary to have bigger and healthy berries

when harvest. Eugenics? Ya and it works.

So, now you find where the berries are, hiding under the leaves.

The berry and buds looks OK at the bottom of the plant. Almost

same quality and size as berries on the top (in the last picture).
