How does it work?

The berry is not sweet, it contains an active glycoprotein molecule, with some trailing carbohydrate chains, called miraculin. When the fleshy part of the fruit is eaten, this molecule binds to the tongue's taste buds, causing changes in taste - in particular, bitter and sour foods (such as lemons) taste sweet.

How long does it last?

The effects of the miracle fruit may last up to two hours but the duration varies depending on the amount consumed.

Where does it come from?

The Miracle Fruit plant, sometimes known as the Miracule Berry, (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a plant first documented by an explorer named Des Marchais during a 1725 excursion to its native tropical West Africa. Our miracle fruit are grown and picked in Ghana before we freeze dry them to preserve the miraculin.
