Press Release Body: Vienna, Austria, 28 July, 2008 -- The Miracle Fruit Plant (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a plant first documented in 1725 during an excursion to its native West Africa. Local tribes picked the berry from shrubs and chewed it before meals. The berry contains an active glycoprotein called Miraculin which gently binds to the tongue\'s taste buds, causing bitter and sour foods (such as lemons and limes) consumed later to taste sweet. This effect lasts between ten minutes and two hours. It is not a sweetener, and is nothing like artificial sweeteners as Aspartane (which is rumoured to cause cancer). Miracle fruit is 100% natural and has no known adverse side effects. The usage of Miracle Fruit as a food additive was banned in 1970\'s by the FDA but it is nevertheless available as fresh fruits or freeze dried extract which can be stored for a longer period of time.
Nowadays Miracle Fruit is grown in Africa, Asia and Florida. It is not frost resistant and can in most places only be grown in a greenhouse. It grows slow and fruits in 3-5 years.
Miracle Fruit berries can be chewed before eating sour fruit (grapefruit, rhubarb, lemons, strawberries and similar) or used in conjunction with special recipes to make sugarfree desserts. The desserts can be made without sugar and artificial sweeteners, one can only use pure freshly sqeezed natural fruit juices, for instance orange or even lemon juice. Miracle Fruit can also improve the taste after chemotherapy but the resulty differ from person to person.
