Miracle berry (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a small red berry from West Africa, where it is traditionally used as a flavor enhancer. It is similar in appearance to a cranberry.
It has no real taste, but an amazing ability to make sour foods taste sweet. The effects last about an hour.
After eating a miracle berry, sour fruits like limes and lemons taste extremely sweet, strawberries taste like they are dipped in sugar, tequila tastes like it is mixed with lemonade, and stouts taste like chocolate milk.
Miracle berry has an amazing political history in America. Check out this video from Democracy Now.
