Miracle Berry
Widely cultivated in western Africa, the reason this fruit has such a strange name is that it has the ability to turn sour into a sweet taste when served. This fruit changes the cells that feel the sweetness in the tongue and deceives your taste buds so that when you eat sour food, it will not feel sour but only feel sweet, and besides it has no effect on the chemical structure of the food you eat. When eating miracle fruits with sour foods, you should be careful not to eat too much because this habit can cause stomach ulcers due to excess acid.
