Visit miracle bay grows wild on a small shrub called Synsepalum dulcificum. For centuries, the local populations of West Africa have savoured its discreet taste, but above all they have benefited from its surprising capacity to modify perceived flavors. European explorers discovered it in the 18th century, intrigued by this astonishing culinary tradition.

Once the berry has been consumed, eating a lemon or vinegar becomes a whole new experience, as their acidity gives way to an unsuspected sweetness thanks to the taste transformation.

As soon as the miraculin leaves the receptors on the tongue, the palate returns to its original capacity. This unique mode of action is attracting the interest of gourmets and health professionals alike.
