Turns sour to sweet. Eating a miracle fruit will make a lemon taste like lemonade without using sugar. The miracle fruit (sometimes called miracle berry or ledidi berry) is a small red berry that makes sour foods taste sweet. Lemons taste like lemonade. Strawberries taste like they are dipped in sugar. The effect can remain for 2 hours or more. Fresh miracle fruit berries (Synsepalum dulcificum) are handpicked at our Florida farm. This is fresh fruit. It has never been frozen, freeze dried or dehydrated. Fresh miracle fruit has a 2 day shelf life. The fresh fruit can be eaten fresh within a couple of days, or it can be frozen and used as needed for up to one month.
