The miracle fruit is a small red berry which looks similar to a red coffee bean.It has a chemical in it called miraculin which causes the taste buds to make sour foods taste sweet.This means you can eat a lemon or a lime like an orange and they will taste sweet.They also change the taste of many other foods and are a great talking point for something different.
They can also be a good food for diabetics who still crave sweet foods and can use the berries to make bland foods sweeter.

Miracle Fruit / Berry Tree advanced fruiting
Miracle fruit trees grow very slow and is more of a shrub than a tree They are perfect for a fruiting hedge and can be pruned easily.They will reach a height of around 2 metres in 10 years.They are a rare fruit and make a great addition to any fruit tree collection especially when space is limited. They will grow in the hot climates but we have even had customers in Canberra who say they have had success with growing them there so they can handle the cold as well.
