Miracle Fruits

"There are 3 kinds of miracle fruits, but i'm going to tell you a fruit called Synsepalum dulcificum, Did you know that this fruit could make sour foods become sweet, truly that fruit is a miracle fruit.

so basicly when you eat this fruit, anything sour like lemon would taste sweet when you eat it for a few minutes. it is said it's caused by miraculin that is usually used for sugar subtitute, even though the berry it self has low sugar content. But the scientist still doesn't surely know the exact change of this, one theory is that miraculin works by distorting the shape of sweetness receptors 'so that they become responsive to acids, instead of sugar and other sweet things'. This effect lasts 15–60 minutes.
