About Miracle Fruits(Synsepalum dulcificum)

Miracle Fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a berry born on a small shrub native to Ghana, Africa. The fruit contains a unique glycoprotein called miraculin that binds to the taste receptors altering the natural flavors of food in such a way that undesirable flavors are masked and the desirable flavors are greatly enhanced. The effects of the miraculin have been shown to mask the overwhelming metallic taste food can get after chemotherapy that causes extreme nausea and can lead to patients developing an aversion to eating and unwanted weight loss..
