I spent this past weekend ravenously talking about the Miracle Fruit. Lo and behold, the New York Times does a story on it today. Apparently there is a series of parties in New York and San Francisco called ‘Flavor Tripping‘ where the Miracle Fruit is featured prominently. For those who do not know what a Miracle Fruit is, it is natures Nutra Sweet. Bite into a lime after eating a miracle fruit, it will taste sweet. Anything sour or nasty, sweet. The US Government is said to have banned mass cultivation of the miracle fruit in the 60′s because they saw it as a threat to the Sugar Trade. Anyway, find some berries or go to a party and enjoy.

It’s a good one. Read it here
