A little clarity.
A small red fruit, native to West Africa. It contains a protein called miraculin: after you chew the berry, sour foods can taste sweet for a while, so a lemon may taste more like lemonade. The food doesn’t change, only how it tastes to you. That surprise gave the berry its name. How long it lasts varies from person to person.
Freeze-dried miracle berry halves. A half is one half of a berry: a 10-half pack contains the equivalent of five whole berries.
No. Richberry changes how sour flavours may taste to you. The food’s sugar content and acidity remain unchanged.
Start with a little water to cleanse your palate. Follow the directions on your pack, moving the fleshy part around your mouth as you chew. Then try a familiar sour food.
