Now thats MIRACLE FRUIT!!!

Miracle fruit or Synsepalum dulcificum)is a West African berry that alters the way the palate discerns flavours, supposedly making lemons taste sweeter than lemonade and transforming dirty-shirt tequila into a silky smooth sipper. It’s also rumored to make Guinness taste like a chocolate shake and vinegar taste like apple juice, which all sounds a little too Willy Wonka, if you ask us. We skeptically probe our hosts before putting any of the mystery fruit in our mouths.

 
So basically!! if you have diabetes and still have the urge for sweets! this is your guilty pleasure fruit!! The berry itself has a low sugar content and a mildly sweet tang. It contains a glycoprotein molecule, with some trailing carbohydrate chains, called miraculin.

 

When the fleshy part of the fruit is eaten, this molecule binds to the tongue's taste buds, causing sour foods to taste sweet. At neutral pH, miraculin binds and blocks the receptors, but at low pH (resulting from ingestion of sour foods) miraculin binds proteins and becomes able to activate the sweet receptors, resulting in the perception of sweet taste.[10] This effect lasts until the protein is washed away by saliva. Also, it is a shrub that grows between 1.8 and 4.5 meters.Now that's a miracle fruit in real sense!!
