miracle fruit
Sour becomes sweet
Miracle fruit is a West African berry that makes sour foods taste sweet.
The effect comes from a protein called miraculin, which temporarily alters taste perception—after chewing the berry, lemons taste like lemonade and vinegar like apple cider.
The effect lasts about an hour.
We had a miracle fruit party where everyone tried pickles and hot sauce.
