Ten Berries per package

Miracle berries, scientifically known as Synsepalum dulcificum, are fascinating fruits that have the unique ability to modify the taste perception of sour and acidic foods, making them taste sweet. Here's a simple explanation:

1. Miracle Berry Composition: The key component of miracle berries is a protein called miraculin. When you consume a miracle berry, this miraculin binds to the taste receptors on your tongue.
2. Effect on Taste Receptors: Normally, these receptors are activated by acidic or sour flavors. However, when miraculin is present, it alters their response. Instead of perceiving sourness, the receptors start sending signals to the brain that interpret the taste as sweet.
3. Temporary Effect: This effect is temporary and typically lasts for about 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the individual. During this period, foods that would normally taste sour, like lemons and vinegar, will taste sweet.
4. No Caloric Change: It's important to note that the miracle berry doesn't add any sweetness by itself nor does it reduce the actual acidity of the food. The sour food remains acidic; it's just perceived differently by the taste buds.
5. Safe and Natural: Miracle berries are considered safe and are a natural way to experience sweetness without sugar or artificial sweeteners. This has made them popular among those looking to reduce sugar intake.
