Miracle or Magic Fruit?


Unbelievable! This fruit is really unbelievable. My officemate brought some of those one day and he said that this fruit will turn our taste bud sweet. Along with this fruit, he also brought some lemon to test. First, he lets us eat the lemon and the taste was absolutely sour. After that, I partake one miracle fruit, he said that we should let its pulp stays around our mouth for at least 30 seconds. Okay, I chew it and its taste was blunt, no sweetness or whatever. After we threw the seed, he lets us eat the lemon again, and there the miracle happens. Sour taste lemon now becomes sweet like a lemonade. I even finished eating the whole lemon alone. Its sweetness property will remain in the mouth up to 2 hours. They said that aside from sour food, it's also best for bitter food. I wonder how bitter lemon taste when eaten along with this miracle fruit. To know more about about this unbelievably miracle fruit, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_fruit.

this may be due to conversion of citric acid to fructose
