All About Miracle Fruit!

Miracle Fruit, also known as Miracle Berry, is a small tropical fruit shrub native to Ghana. Its small red berries are prized for the effect they have on other foods. The fruit contains miraculin which blocks sour and bitter taste receptors on the tongue. Eat a miracle fruit and everything you eat for a while afterward will be sweet!
Learn more about the fruit, the plant and its uses in this video. Chris even demonstrates how the fruit makes sour taste sweet!

This fruit is very common in Ghana. I remember in my childhood, my friends and I will take before we go on fruit hunting. Everything else ate afterwards tasted sweet 😋

[@tompaib]

Hi. Do you still live there? It's super difficult to get seeds or plants here in Europe. I would love to try to grow mine. Would it be possible for you to post me some seeds? Thank you!:)

I took some miracle fruit from my local garden center (they’ve never carried this plant before to my knowledge). We just tried your experiment with the lemon and my whole family is just astonished! What a fun little experiment! Just like you described, it had a little tang but tasted like a deliciously sweet orange or such. I am definitely going back to the garden center and buying the plant. I want my friends at work to experience this cool berry. 😁❤️

[@josepheskins4402]

It's amazing that you should have a video about miracle fruit. I have been watching and love your mango videos. The amazing thing is that I lived in Tema Ghana for approximately 6 yrs of my life. I lived there with my family when my father worked for Kaiser Aluminum. I was a young teen during this period. The amazing thing is that this is where I fell in love with mangos! Until we moved there, I had never tasted a mango. it quickly became and still is my favorite fruit. They had several different varieties. I liked every single one of them! I am now diving in lock, stock and barrel to trying to grow mangos, and now miracle fruit. Your videos have truly inspired me, I am currently 55yrs old and live in Louisiana, so I guess I got some good mango growing years ahead of me. Thanks again for your videos and inspiration.

I picked up a miracle berry plant in September and It looked great. I live in Vegas and the temperatures got below 40 degrees and I noticed the tips of all the leaves got crispy and brown. I have since pulled it inside and will put it back outside on nice days. What should I do as far as pruning it? Do I just let it be or should I trim it way back? Thank you for the great videos! By the way I am currently growing a Phoenix and a cotton candy mango that I picked up in September as well.

[@TrulyTropical]

I would just leave the leaves on the plant. The green parts of the leaves are keeping the plant active. Miracle Fruit is one plant that I seldom trim. When I do, I tend to eliminate whole branches or parts of branches.

? Can you have them together with other fruits like a bowl of mixed berries..will it have the same effect?

[@TrulyTropical]

Not really. The idea is to coat your tongue with the miraculin from the miracle fruit and then eat other things you want to taste as sweet. It temporarily changes the way you taste foods. Also, miracle fruit has a rather large seed that wouldn't be great in a bowl of mixed berries.
