Foodie Friday: The Miracle Fruit

It’s pretty much the best discovery since the artificial sweetener. The “Miracle Fruit” or in its more proper form, “Synsepalum dulcificum” is a highly perishable berry native to West Africa which after consumption, makes even the most bitter flavors taste sweet. For centuries it has been around,but has just recently made it’s way back onto the culinary radar. A single berry which costs roughly 2 dollars + has lured trendy foodies to tasting parties like this one the New York Times covered in Queens, New York in 2008:
Guinness beer transforms into sorbet? Brussel sprouts–now an “oddly textured fruit”? This could definitely be a revolutionary way of feeding your kids vegetables. Anyone can purchase these berries at the MiracleFruitMan.com

I’ve seen these the first time on CSI NY!
It’s just awesome a fruit can do that
You also might want to mention that you can get these “highly perishable” berries in dried form too. Miracle Frooties are my favorite brand. http://www.theworldsbestfruit.com did a class presentation for us in September. It was the wildest experiment ever. Of course we didnt get to try Guinness in class, but the fruit was crazy.
I recommend fruit like: grape (white), lime, grapefruit, blueberry and strawberry with miracle fruit.
