(Synsepalum dulcificum Daniell) Miracle fruit or Miracle burry is an evergreen bush or tree growing to 18 ft. in its native habitat of Tropical West Africa. The plant has deep green, elongated leaves which grow in a spire-like habit. The fruit is a small bright red, ellipsoid berry, approximately 2 to 3 cm long and containing a single seed. Although not sweet ifself, when a single fruit is eaten and the fleshy pulp allowed to coat the taste buds of the tongue and inside of the mouth, an extraordinary effect occurs. The fruit will now allow one to eat a slice of lemon or lime without wincing. The marvelous aroma and inherent sweetness of the citrus remains but the sourness is almost completely covered. The effect remains for some 30 minutes or more.
