What are Miracle Berries?
The Miracle Fruit plant (Synsepalum dulcificum) produces berries that, when eaten, cause sour foods (such as lemons and limes) consumed later to taste sweet. The berry, also known as Miracle Berry, Magic Berry, Miraculous Berry or Flavour Berry, was first documented by explorer Chevalier des Marchais who searched for many different fruits during a 1725 excursion to its native West Africa.

When a Miracle Berry Tablet dissolves on your tongue it temporarily rewires the taste receptors to turn sour flavors sweet!
- Lemons taste like candy!
- Dark beers taste like chocolate shakes,
- Goat cheese tastes like cheesecake!
- & even cheap Tequila tastes like its finest top shelf competitors!
Sugar-Free, all natural, and fun!
How does this work? Is this natural?
The berry naturally 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 sour foods to taste sweet. This effect lasts between thirty minutes and two hours.

Who uses Miracle Berries?
- Dieters
- Diabetics
- Curious and Adventurous Eaters
- People at Parties!
Miracle Berries are great for those who have a sweet tooth as well as a health conscious mind. With these tablets, almost every fruit becomes a tasty candied version of itself.
Beyond that, the adventerous can even explore the effects and taste things which would may normally be unappealing like mustard, hot sauce, vinegar, pickles, and brussell spouts!
Even the taste of cocktails and liquour are changed dramatically after use of a Miracle Berry Tablet, with that in mind we urge you to imbibe responsibly!
Mainstream Media Coverage of the Miracle Berries
All around the world people are having ‘flavor tripping’ parties, and they are only now starting to gain popularity in the West.
Take a look at this video of a party in New York covered by the New York Times…
Carrie Dashow dropped a large dollop of lemon sorbet into a glass of Guinness, stirred, drank and proclaimed that it tasted like a “chocolate shake.”
Nearby, Yuka Yoneda tilted her head back as her boyfriend, Albert Yuen, drizzled Tabasco sauce onto her tongue. She swallowed and considered the flavor: “Doughnut glaze, hot doughnut glaze!”
They were among 40 or so people who were tasting under the influence of a small red berry called miracle fruit at a rooftop party in Long Island City, Queens, last Friday night. The berry rewires the way the palate perceives sour flavors for an hour or so, rendering lemons as sweet as candy.
Within minutes of consuming the berries, guests were devouring lime wedges as if they were candy. Straight lemon juice went down like lemonade, and goat cheese tasted as if it was “covered in powdered sugar,” said one astonished partygoer. A rich stout beer seemed “like a milkshake,” said another.
“Rhubarb is the big winner, it’s like a sugar stick,”
Paul Sherman, 27, who works at a nonprofit group that studies campaign finance, followed his miracle fruit with strawberries and found them “like strawberry-flavored candy … almost too sweet.” It was, he concluded, “the strangest gustatory experience I have ever had in my life.”
In an instant, the lemons and limes taste as good as an ordinary sugar-laden dessert.
What are these tablets? Why don’t you offer fresh berries?
For the moment, the demand for raw berries are in such high demand that they are not only very hard to find, but they are increasingly very expensive when available. The nature of the fruit also makes preserving them very challenging. First of all, the fruits begin to rot almost as soon as they are picked. Due to the nature of the miraculin (the active glycoprotein) they cannot be frozen or cooked without greatly degrading their strength. Due to these restrictions and commercial necessities, most people offering fresh berries have very high minimum orders and they must insist upon expensive next-day shipping.
Our tablets contain ONLY freeze dried granules of Miracle Berry fruit and cornstarch (to maintain the tablet shape). In this form, the tablets can last over a year with little to no degradation (when not frozen or cooked!) and the price per miracle berry experience is much more affordable than with the fresh berries.
