I came across a website recently that sells a fruit called the Miracle Fruit, supposedly it can mask or completely change the taste of sour & bitter foods to sweet!!
I read a number of reviews & write ups & it sounds legit.

I was wondering how it might work to help with the bitter taste of Ayahuasca.
I think I'm gonna order a little bag & give it a try.
It is unfortunately quite expensive!! $60 for like 20 berries.

Has anybody here heard of, or tried this fruit?

I'll ask the Travler if I can post a link to it here, until then I'll make a quick thread with a link in the suppliers section.

Cheers

Interesting idea really. I'm not sure how it would effect the bitterness of aya. If I understand correctly, the bitterness of aya is caused by the tannins? Am I wrong? If it's tannins, then it's not really a "flavor" that can be masked and more a physical reaction of the tongue to the tannins.

Perhaps I'm far off the mark here, I'm going on read knowledge and not personal experience with aya. And yay for "miracle fruit!" Always wanted to try it.

Well it coats your taste buds with it's juices so I'm not sure it matters what the bitter taste is?

Interesting though!

Yeah it IS legit for sure. I posted this topic, and ordered some for myself. I seen em around and such on the net, did not take note not, not sure if it was legit. But when I seen it on the TV on some show (Beyond Tomorrow I think), I knew it would be pretty damn legit.

I need to get back to that guy to see how hes going on getting new stock . Other then that, if Ayahuasca tast bitter, then these things WILL/SHOULD make it taste sweet, if not much better. Tablets are just meant to be the fruit extract, and starch.

edit: oh BTW are links to the site below (that sells the tablets and such), meant to be posted in the Suppliers thread? Was not sure if this is a rule, will check up on this

That's good enough for me!!
I'm gonna order up some of these little guy's with my next pay check & try em with some Ayahuasca I've got waiting in the fridge!!


I'm not following you here.

EDIT:Oh now I get it....

I am not sure if its smart to get the fruit, or get it in tablet form. Just remember the fruit gos off in like 1-3 days or something. But they can be frozen I have read.

the tablets or a live plant seem to be like the best option unless u can get berries locally.
Swims always wanted to try these with cactus tea - doubt it would work but if it does can u imagine how nice that would be - nice sweet tasting cactus tea, followed by a delicious purge.

i tried the tablets a while back. I didnt have a lot of things to try, but lemons, tasted like some sweet lemonade. I could see this used as maybe a non sugar sweetener or something. I never tried aya but i cant see this masking or changing the taste much, same for cactus sludge.

I've tried it, it's insane.

You can eat lemons and they taste like candy.

Pomegranate juice tastes like honey!

SWIM has tried it with cacti chips..it did not improve the flavor...but it made apple cider awesome..

but they dont really make nasty things taste any better

Hmm really want totry soem of this miracle fruit, sounds interesting...

From what I've read, you have to break up the Berry in your mouth & swish it around for a minute or two to get the juice to cover the whole of your mouth, before spitting out the seed & swallowing the fruit.

It also said that what it does is cover the taste buds in a certain chemical in the juice that changes the way the taste buds sense flavors.
Kind of like a psychedelic for your mouth only.

This makes me wonder how well the tablets work in comparison to the fresh fruit.
One of the website mentions that the berries can be frozen for up to three months...so score one for the tablets.

Wish I had the funds to order up both & compare.
Antone know of any other places that sell them in smaller quantities?

BTW, HERE is a link to the suppliers section with the link to the site I've been talking about.

I got my tablets today. I ended up using a whole tablet. I tried a lemon, it tasted like a lemon that had sugar infused in it . Like a sour sweet. I then tried a grapefruit, it tasted great! No hint of sour/bitter, only a hint of weak grapefruit after taste. I then wanted to test coffee, it did not go as well. It made the bitter taste a bit weaker, but that could be because I made it weaker (to much water).

I think raw fruit would work better then tablets, you would need to test em. I would test both, but I think my MBs would go off by the time they came into Australia. And I am sure Customs would freak out seeing some mystery berries .

If you want someone that supply smaller amounts, check link in my topic. And do it soon, I am pretty sure I am not allowed to have link in my topic other then the "link" topic. Unless you mean a link that sells the fruit as rawr form, or tablet form as well

So far, I rate this 7/10. I am yet to try steamed vegetables, and other foods. So a final score cannot be done just yet.

2nd thought, PM me if you want the link. I will take it off now.

You guys should grow your own, I have some growing, they are really easy to care for! Get some seeds or plants of Synsepalum dulcificum ~ "Mircle Fruit"!!!

I was really thinking about this. But Australia being like it is, customs will probably pull it up, and confiscate it... They often freak out with seeds, and most other foreign "living" objects.

It is not too hard to get things into the land of Kangaroos!

Since Synsepalum dulcificum isn't illegal, it should be fine!

Wicked thread, i would love to have Miricle Fruit one day one day


Much Peace

C'Mon do you seriously not realize that is not an OK thing to post?

Please Coatl, once again, edit you post so we don't have to...

Good Grief

WS

Alright, Alright. I mean it's just miracle fruit! It's legal, it's not like I'm telling the guy to import something illegal!

Right, but what you were implying was not!!
I am guessing that you know that & that is also not OK.
