- DJulz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I live in South Fl. and own one of these plants - the best part is seeing the expressions on peoples faces when they bite into a lime without the pucker-face. It was actually declared illegal by the FDA earlier in the century because they didn't know why it did what it did. Works great with beer, lemons, strawberries. Grapes and Oranges taste like complete syrup. Don't try to grow one in cooler climates - it's a West African plant.
- AdamWeeden, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"And why exactly would I want to make a sour thing taste sweet?! :P"
Well assuming that the chemical is stable, you could inject this into citrus to enhance the flavor, or sell a batch that is particularly sour. - BTrey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm amazed that people don't see the potential in this. Imagine adding a little something sour to your tea and having it taste sweet. A nice, sweet beverage with zero (or near zero) calories. Make lemon meringue pie with no sugar and it still tastes great for desert. The diet industry in the US is a multi-billion dollar industry. Someone could make a killing with this.
- RadiatedAnt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3sweet, maybe THIS CAN MAKE MY WIFE'S COOKING EDIBLE
- SakisRakis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3GarfiBlue: Baffle and bufuddle everyone with your ability to pound down sour food? hehe
- o0joshua0o, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Imagine the possibilities with this! You could take one of these pills, and then eat some Sour Patch Kids candy. So instead of the candy tasting sour first and then sweet, it would just taste sweet the whole time!
WE CAN HAVE CANDY THAT TASTES SWEET THE WHOLE TIME YOU'RE EATING IT! OMG! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'll be waiting for the pill that makes tofu taste like barbecue ribs.

- modcam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2In Costa Rica, I had some miracle fruit. It was perfect to make the sour starfruit that was readily available rather tasty. Only problem was, after a few minutes it wore off and then your mouth had that acidic burn feeling.

- CaptainGs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So does this mean drinks high in citric acid (diet drinks) could be sweetened with just miraculin?? Sounds pretty interesting.
miraculin + lemon_juice == artificial_sweetener
I suppose the dark side of this would be poisons could be used to taste just like candy. - wdgasu, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1you can get some at http://buy-miracle-fruit.com they ship fasssst

lemon aid. - sifelltneytandi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What's with all the "sour ejaculate" jokes? That makes no sense, unless you people are having sex with lemons or something.
