Synsepalum dulcificum also known as the miracle fruit which is native to West Africa is called miracle berry not just because it is healthy but also because of its ability to alter flavor of some foods. The fruit can change the taste of the food you eat.
If you eat miracle berry then eat something sour like lemon after, that lemon will tastes sweet and not sour. This is caused by the protein found in miracle berry called miraculin. Miraculin is a taste modifier that can change the protein shape of the tongue that detects sweet flavors.
Eating this fruit actually caused the sweet receptors to react both to bitter and acidic foods making it sweet.
Miracle fruit is now being used as a fine-dining gimmick of numerous high-end restaurants around the world.
Customers enjoy the flavor changing experience offered by these restaurants as they experience how miraculously sour turns sweet in their mouths.
If you are on a diet, you can eat this fruit in a much as you can without thinking that it might get you fat. The fruit is a best substitute for sugar and is proven to be safe even for people with diabetes.
The berry is also recommended for people who are under chemotherapy treatment since this helps increase appetite.
But, although it can increase appetite, it can help weight loss since the fruit does not contain calories.
Even if the fruit is sugary sweet, this miracle fruit is safe for people with insulin and diabetes problems.
Health researchers and experts are continuously doing more study on how to use this fruit as an alternative sweetener. They believe that there is more beneficial use for the fruit and that the full potential of miraculin protein is yet to be explored.
“Ultimately, after you experience what miraculin can do, there’s just no good reason why we would continue using sugar”, Cantu.
