A small fruit, the color of a cranberry and the size of an almond, has been discovered in West Africa.
The tasteless berry has the ability to reverse the taste buds up to 30 minutes. The berry is applied to the tongue and releases a sweetening potency that alters the taste buds.
The small berry is known to as Synsepalum Dulcificum but has gained the nickname of “miracle fruit”.
Five years ago in a Miami, Florida hospital a study found the berries to be helpful in restoring the appetite of cancer patients.
Researchers are looking for a way the help those with diabetes and obesity by applying the sweetener to foods to increase the taste. Unlike artificial sweeteners, the berries are natural and contain very few calories.
