Miracle fruit

[Yasa]

Has anyone tried it? I got some of the tablets, and tried it yesterday. For those unsure of what it is; it's a fruit from Africa that when eaten, makes sour foods (like any kind of citrus) taste sweet.

It's awesome! I tried straight up lime juice and it was beyond sweet, with no sense of sour. Grapefruit juice tasted delicious with no bitter-tartness. Strawberries and oranges taste even better than they normally do. I even tried balsamic balsamic vinegar, horse radish, hot sauce and maple syrup. The vinegar was hard to comprehend. It had the flavour of balsamic vinegar, but was sweet. Horse radish tasted like spicy candy and hot sauce (Frank's) tasted...gross. Maple syrup tasted like an instant hyperglycemic attack.

Right now I'm drinking a Guiness after eating a tablet. It's sweet, but still really good.

Apparently pineapple and kiwi tastes amazing (I don't have any) but you have to watch out with citrus. Although it's sweet, it will still burn your mouth.

I bought them from here;

They shipped in just over a week. Longer than they originally stated, but I'm happy they came.

Is this used for anything serious or just to make random stuff tasted awesome?

This sounds like the choose-your-own-adventure when you make a wish that everything tastes like pizza and then you realize that when everything tastes like pizza you wish you could eat a shotgun instead.

As far as I'm concerned, just to make random stuff taste awesome. Diabetics in Japan apparently use it as a sweetener. That's about it though.

Would the shotgun also taste like pizza?

I was ok with that for a one-time thing. If I were to buy it every week it would be insane.

I thought this was going to be about beans, but I guess that's the musical fruit.

You know what else makes things taste sweet without costing $100?

Sugar!

[Weiser Wonder]

Why doesn't someone just mass produce these berries if they're so awesome?

[photon]

This is so random.

[kirant]

Good lord. 100 bucks for 20 berries?

Screw the rest of my degree. I'll make it rich planting berries.
