Our friends invited us to try a berry from their Miracle Fruit tree. It’s a small, red fruit that contains a molecule called miraculin, which binds to your taste buds and makes everything else you eat for the next hour or two taste sweet. What a trip! The tart lime became like lemonade, and wasabi – well, wasabi was just bland, so the distinct warning is, watch the hot peppers and spice when imbibing this particular miraculous fruit!
