Hi,

I just read in FOCUS that there seems to be some kind of berry called
"Miracle Berry". It's taste is non-existent, but after having consumed them,
everything that usually tastes sour suddenly tastes sweet.
In Japan it's used as a non-sugar sweetener.

Does anyone know where I can get some of those berries in Germany?

Thanks.

René

aren´t they from canada? i vaguely remember
something on german tv. a cook travels around
the world to come up with new ingriedients.

I don't have any strong views about the berries and don't want
to try them but a Google search will almost certainly produce a
source. For example try:

"miracle berries" buy OR Purchase

They're originally from West Africa.

Here is a page on miracle fruit:

http://www.capetrib.com.au/miracle.htm

It says that for the "miracle" effect to work, the fruit should be
consumed soon after picking. Refrigeration reduces or eliminates the effect.

Apparently though, you have to eat them immediately on picking to have
the right effect, it diminishes quickly if you store. Its not
commercially grown, but people are beginning to grow it as a house
plant, but the frost will kill it.
