Miracle fruit

I was in Cameron Highlands last month and when I visited a shop which sells and plants flowers, I came across this miracle fruit.

Flowers of the plant

One of the seller let my parents and I taste it and it was a little sweet with a unique fragrance. I was not aware of its miracle until the seller again asked us to try eating a very sour lime which he plucked from the nursery. It tasted less sour, with the miracle fruit's fragrance lingering in my mouth. So, this miracle fruit actually makes sour taste into sweet! I tried eating strawberry after eating this tiny fruit and the strawberry turns out to taste very very sweet. Before that, the original taste of strawberry is minimal sweetness. Yum Yum.

According to a newspaper report, it can prevent one from being drunk, making beer taste like lemonade. Tasting parties are held in some countries, with a sum of fees of course. After the participant taste this miracle fruit, they will feast on sour fruits like grapefruit and lemon. The effect of this fruit indeed is fun and surprising. =D
