MIRACLE BERRY

Miracle berry is a tropical plant known for its berry (synsepalum dulcificum), when consumed, causes sour foods (such as lemons and limes) to taste sweet without any added sugar. This effect is due to an active ingredient taste-modifying glycoprotein called miraculin. The berry may be used as a low-calorie sweetener to mostly sour foods to make low-calorie desserts and fruit juices.
