The Miracle Fruit Plant, sometimes known as Miracle Berry, or Magic Berry (Sideroxylon dulcificum/Synsepalum dulcificum) is a plant first documented by an explorer named Des Marchais during a 1725 excursion to its native West Africa. Marchais noticed that local tribes picked the berry from shrubs and chewed it before meals. The plant grows in bushes up to 20 feet high in its native habitat, but does not usually grow higher than ten feet in cultivation, and it produces two crops per year, after the end of the rainy season. It is an evergreen plant that produces small red berries, with flowers that are white and which are produced for many months of the year. The seeds are about the size of coffee beans.
The berry is sweet, and 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 bitter and sour foods (such as lemons and limes) consumed later to taste sweet. This effect lasts between thirty minutes and two hours. It is not a sweetener, as its effects depend on what is eaten afterwards, but has been used to sweeten bitter medicines.

Fruit is an Ethnobotanical...
Ethnobotanical means- Any plants humans use.
Entheogen means- Plants which generate God within.

Hey this miracle fruit sounds cool. Too bad they're trees that take 8-10 years to grow. I've not even lived in the same place for 8 years ever. Maybe I'll come across this fruit and get to try it sometime.

I dont think anything can make that better besides if you eat it during or right after a shower/bath. Just remember, it doesnt get rid of the flavor, it just makes the flavor more sweet.
