The New York Times reported on a special west-African berry called “miracle fruit” that makes everything sweet in your mouth. Once you eat the berry, everything you taste for about an hour afterwards will taste sweet. A slice of lemon tastes like a pixie stick and a shot of beer tastes like chocolate. It sounds like something out of Willy Wonka!
Apparently, “Flavor Tripping Parties” have become somewhat trendy in New York and San Francisco. Oh, and I’m sure you’re not surprised that there’s a blog about the parties too. Flavor tripping is all about “miracle fruit parties and sundry grub fests.”
Personally, I’d love to try one of these little miracle fruits out for myself. I guess I’ll have to look them a party next time I’m in NYC or SF. Or, I could buy berries from the Miracle Fruit Man and take the plunge on my own. Hmmm…
Check out the New York Times article. It even has a video to watch one of the parties in action. Very cool!

I tried it and it really works!
hey I tried one drink called purple and it has 7 fruit juices and is hailed as the strongest antioxidant punch ever so now which is the miracle juice and it fights premature ageing and cancer. All the celebrities are having it because of it’s yummy taste and guess what I took it with smoothie and mixed it with various cocktails and it tastes yumm!
I have tried Purple and I love it. It has such a unique taste and by that I mean a really good taste

Julia, you are correct about all the celebrities drinking Purple. I saw the Hilton girls drinking purple on the Entertainment tonight TV show. They were at some party for the stars.
See ya

Yes, Miracle Fruit is approved but not as a food supplement (can be used as candy or “fruit concentrate”). It is perfectly legal to sell it in the US.
