- Miracle fruit is a small berry that, when chewed, creates a chemical reaction in your mouth that makes sour and bitter foods (such as limes) taste sweet. The effect lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours. The berries are so much fun that people hold "miracle fruit parties" where friends can sample lemons, limes, blue cheese and other foods while "under the influence" of the miracle fruit berry.
Many people want to own their own miracle fruit plants so they can harvest their own berries, and there are several online retailers. Be aware that the berries grow on older plants (usually 2- to 3-year-old shrubs), so if you buy a younger plant, you will save money, but have to wait a year or two for fruit. - You can buy both young (but at least 8 months old) and older (at least 2 years and ready to bear fruit) miracle fruit trees from Live Monarch. Live Monarch also sells a special soil mix for growing miracle fruit trees.
