Ryan Navin the FDA allows you to grow, sell,freeze, and make them into tablets. They just won’t allow you to add them to things like candy. They are willing to overturn it if more research is put into it. Though I Blame the Sugar industry more than the FDA itself.
@The eel I blame the regulatory agency. Industries/corporations are supposed to be trying to make profits, that is what they are there for. Regulatory agencies are there to protect consumers, not thumb the scale for certain corporations because of conflicts of interest. How can you blame the for-profit company over the agency that is supposed to be regulating the industry? That is like blaming a child for being a little shit head in the supermarket, rather than blaming the parents who let them, or even encourage them to keep being shit heads.
@@williamcozart9166 This. This right here. The lobbyists are being the piece of shit scumbags that they can always be expected to act like. What we need to do is keep the scumbags that run the regulatory committees from creating an unfair market by catering to them.
I was a kid in the Seventies and got a sample box with the pills and some products (like sour sugar-free gelatin) meant to be eaten after chewing a pill. Pretty much the same effects reported with the fruit. I was very disappointed (type 1 diabetic since 1970) when the company was shut down.
It's some time since I tried miracle berry tablets, but I remember that lemons and vinegar were not sour at all anymore, I almost drank half a glass of vinegar. They both were really just obscenely sweet. Maybe theres much more miraculine in the tablets than in fruits. My stomach wasn't that easy to trick though 🤢
i mean its not like the coffee cup passing died as a concept forever, if everyone in the group is vaccinated its ok (and covid started in late 2019 early 2020, not after 2014 bruh)
I'm growing a miracle berry plant in Maryland. I'm finally getting fruit this summer, and it works as promised. It's a tropical plant and I have to bring it inside when temps drop below 60 F.
@@lynnerodgers4461 The seeds are difficult (though definitely not impossible) to germinate as they require very specific soil acidity, but you can purchase both live saplings and seeds online!
I started growing these berries because I got tired of not being able to find a *reliable* an *consistent* *quality* source for years and just got fed up. I started growing them mostly for me, family and close friends who have chronic illness and/or conditions that require food restrictions like little to no shugar nor can have the fake shugars, like myself. It's utterly criminal that these amazing fruits have been done so dirty by the gov/big-companies ect. My friend who loved sweet lemonade since childhood but after her illness had to cut it. I remember the first time She got to try a non sweetened home made lemonade after the berries and cried.
When I was little one of my neighbors had a miracle berry plant. I tasted one and it wasn’t bad, but not super impressive. I wish I had tasted one of the lemons from my lemon tree after that. My tiny mind would’ve been fucking BLOWN
I did a massive tasting session after one of the miracle berry tablets... amazing! My favourite were limes... they suddenly tasted like the most delightful sherbet! And red wine becomes grape juice, haha.
*When you're growing miracle berries for a business* XD. I'm gonna be growing and selling them in Michigan. The FDA does not officially restrict miracle berries, and hopefully they won't.
Cool video, I always have fun with miracle berries, I have a tree, and can tell you that fresh berries are a lot more potent, and the berries taste pretty good on their own, I have to pick some and hide them before my daughters gets them all. We do not swallow the seeds, or chew them. you just want to suck/eat the pulp off the seed. ok here is my experience with the miracle berries. They block bitterness, and sour, and if there is some acid in whatever your eating, it will make it taste sweet. what it will not do, is make something like coffee taste sweet, it wont make your plain cornflakes taste sweet or an herbal tea. acid sour fruits like lemon work real well, gotta remember that when you are eating a lemon its still a very strong fruit, make some lemonade without sugar, and try it with the berries. Lemons actually have a lot of "Brix" (sugars), but the sour part , over powers it, by blocking the sour, presto sweet lemons. Beer will also taste really different.
So this berry also doubles your sweet preceptors? So not only does it make the sour part taste sweet, but also makes it taste like there is twice as much sugar as what's really in there?
Hi, have you tried lemba? It is also a fruit in Malaysia. It also makes everything you eat afterwards taste sweet. It has a protein that is a taste modifier, but the fruit itself is sweet.
@@starethequiet8633 A long con is a trick that takes a long time to come to fruition. Like, someone develops a relationship over years to steal someone's money, for example. con as in con-man.
Haven't had yellow grapefruit in years, but now that you've mentioned it, I recall always putting honey on it to make it more palatable. I think the pink variety has no such acidity issue.
Next time you try miracle berries or miracle berry tablets, try eating tomatoes. Trust me... they are to sweet. Enough to make me feel sick. I suspect cherry tomatoes must taste like sweet earthy juice-bombs. To describe it colourfully.
3:00 That's actually not THAT shady, aspartame was a well defined substance, a peptide of 2 molecules of aspartic acid, 1 phenylanine (both aminoacids) molecule with a methyl ester group, they knew how it would break down in the body, they knew the product of it's break down was safe in the quantities relevant. On the other hand, consider that EVERYTHING is "a chemical", and that the chemical responsible for the effect you mention sounds like it wasn't well researched at all, not even mentioning that said chemical wouldn't be in an isolated form, so that adds up quite a bit of unknown chemicals that the FDA had to aprove. I'm not claming to know how much was known about the fruit at the time, I'm not claiming there wasn't any shadiness involved, just that it isn't obvious enough that further investigation wasn't warranted to claim it was a "shady" affair.
Gonzalo Ayala Ibarre Natural berry. The key here is for a natural food of the earth used for natural healing. Remember Hippocrates, the father of medicine: "Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food." Whole and natural. Scientific chemical extraction and concoctions are not necessarily the best or healthiest approach to healing. Many supposed scientific studies were slanted and falsified or discarded results when the results of natural foods showed their wonderful healing benefits. The greed, corruption, and bottom line dollar-driven system is a very unhealthy one for humans.
It goes without saying that many natural substances are poisonous, including the most lethal toxin known to man. There are good natural substances, bad natural substances, innocuous natural substances, something being natural tells you very little about how safe it is to consume it.
@@gonzaloayalaibarre I think the shady part is that it seems that the larger sweetener industry entered into corporate espionage and colluded with the fda to get the product banned.
@@bustedrav Corporate espinonage and collution with a public authority are shady things. The decision that was made by the FDA, was not. That makes you wonder: Why would they waste resources and risk being caught doing shady things if the decision requires no shady things to happen?
@@gonzaloayalaibarre that precedent has been set many times, see Watergate and many others. The issue comes back to government corruption, in many cases lobbies and corporations will either fund campaigns or government officials will be promised paid positions to protect the "interests" of companies, and go on to be paid millions once they leave office, often for doing nothing, this of course is no coincidence.
i used to grow these when i was younger. it didn't fruit that often but got a good number of berries when it did. The ones we had were super creamy and crazy sweet when we ate them. not bitter or anything, maybe they weren't ripe? Eating lemons reminded me of sherbet.
Also sometimes you need to eat two berries for effectiveness i grow them the best lemonade ever! One lemon two limes lots of ice and just smiles till its all gone I am never not amazed by what this berry can do I ate one and drank my banana berry smoothies now that was a flavor delight as well sooo much fun so worth growing
Yes. First time i tried it is with calamansi. As we know, calamansi is super sour and miracle berry made it taste like eating brown sugar with a citrus taste. So fun.
I heard of this plant years ago...and one day this spring..in an overgrown section of my local nursery -- they had several bushes!!! with fruits so of course I sampled....I bought 2 of em..went back the next day and bought the rest...the folks at the store selling it didn't really know what it was
According to Wikipedia, there are 2 species of plant producing fruits with the same effect. The description below is somewhat misleading. Thaumatococcus daniellii is described as a spice, but when you read about it's specifically it refers to a berry that makes Sour things taste sweet. Synsepalum dulcificum is described as a berry, but reading this made me aware that there are at least two different fruits that do the same thing. I wonder what would happen if you mix the two together. maybe no more sour taste will be perceived... Miracle berry may refer to: Synsepalum dulcificum, sources of berrys that increases the perceived sweetness of foods Thaumatococcus daniellii, source of a spice that has an intensely sweet flavor
if you drink the regular MJB coffee it is very smooth flavor they use a golden roast sumatran beans for the smooth gentle flavor i noticed arabica does have a stronger kick and more robust flavor like colombian beans do but oh yes MJB is my alltime fave coffee i can drink it black with no sugar and it still tastes so heavenly but oh i want to grow these berries too very much so, and the 5 prime umami flavors one for each taste sense which is pure delisciousness of each one ohhh i want these berries big time.
That looks so fun, even though I prefer bitter to sweet I don't tolerate sour things very well so it could be fun to try it once! ..and red shirt has got to be a magician. I've never seen anyone look more like a magician.
I'm pretty sure I had covid because I lost my sense of taste for about 5-8 months and it just recently came back but anyway I would have loved to try this because everything tasted like and excuse my language, shit
You can eat the tamarillo skin, it just taste bitter. So it would have been good for the video. Unless there is some variety in malay that is unknown to me. Synsepalum Dulcificum, otherwise known as the Miracle Berry, is related, although somewhat distantly to the mama sapote and sopadilla. As you've said, it has the protein that coats your tongue and causes you to not taste bitter nor sour as much. Aspartame is an analog of an amino acid called phenylalanine. It's used in such minute quantities that it's not really relevant to our health in a can of diet soda, same can be said for sucralose. It's only really bad for phenylketonurics, people who can't have phenylalanine. There has been little evidence that would conclude many adverse effects like cancer. Although it can make you crave sweets and does nothing for blood glucose tolerance. However, if it's between that and high fructose corn syrup, I would take aspartame all day, though I prefer erythritol, allulose, monk fruit or stevia. Hell, even straight glucose is better for you than fructose or aspartame. Medicine and nutrition ain't an exact science, however, and things can change. Even science isn't an exact science, horseshoe crabs recently got reclassified as arachnids, so that's pretty neat.
I've had varieties with skin that is much more palatable than this one. This was painfully bitter. I can't drink regular coke anymore, way too sweet and heavy. Diet coke is far lighter tasting, so i'll occasionally have that.
I have its tree at the back of my house. Birds love it. I dont really eat it anymore because the fruit on the tree is now too high to reach with my hand.
It doesn't seem to affect bitterness in the same way it does sourness. I tried a bunch of different things including beer, which someone suggested online, and it tasted just about exactly the same as it normally does. Anything sour was super sweet but that might be because there's already a lot of sugar in those things. I should have tried dark chocolate, since that's a thing I normally find to be a bit too bitter.
I just tried miracle berry + monk fruit powdered sugar-like sweeteners made locally here in malaysia.. and wow.. it tasted better than sugar.. freaking sweat..
I drink (diluted) vinegar on the regular, lol. Miracle berries are WEIRD. I've had them. They're a little risky because the human skin is not meant to come in contact with that much acid at once and lemons + miracleberries are addictive.
What it means is big business a n big pharma will squash the small innovator every time. I enjoy your videos. Miracle berry makes cheap wine taste good too.
That was a very interesting video, and so glad you were able to share the miracle of miracle berries with your friends. Good stuff (except the Marmite)!
I know this video was a number of years ago, but I find it fascinating that nobody has commented on how scurrilous the FDA were (and are) when it comes to pushing through chemicals made by big business or those that have been lobbied for without proper long-term testing. Aspartame is now in virtually all sweetened products and is unequivocally bad for you. It all sounds conspiratorial. And it is. Money does rule at the expense of our health.
Right on! That organization is corrupt to the core and honestly I think the public needs to overthrow it. They are profiting from vaccines AND setting the vaccine schedule. That conflict of interest alone is absolutely despicable and grounds for them to be dismantled. If someone doesn’t stop them, there will be 200 vaccines on that schedule one day, you mark my words.
SecondaryMetabolite Wow, I’m shocked to see someone defending aspartame. It does have neurotoxic effects, which is why a lot of people with neurological diseases are advised to avoid it. Of course natural substances like alcohol can be neurotoxic too. I try to avoid anything that’s going to kill brain cells, natural or man made.
I’ve got 2 muracle plant but it’s still small. The seller of the plant gave me a fruit as sample but he told me not to eat the seed. So I planted the seed instead & wait for it to grow.
No, no. The poop goes in the beer, marmite is more like the shreded dead bodies of millions of yeast cells after they died of intoxication inside their own poop.
You can fool your taste buds, but likely not the teeth sensitive to acid... The unlimited eating of lemons and vinegar may end in some burns of the mouth as well.
I was totally ignorant of this fruit mind you even less of all the different possible health benefits that could and can be obtained from consuming it properly. After learning this I immediately googled if and how it would work as a smoking cessation with no definite yes or no answer but, I did come across a product being sold under the name Mberry sold in popular retail stores. Do you have any updated videos of the products sold pertaining to this fruit or any known answers if it could be used as a smoking cessation? Thanks so much for educating us.
I apologize for the long feedback but, I also read people commenting on the internet that drinking vinegar after using miracle berries, the vinegar will taste similar to that of apple juice! I'm not a fan of vinegar but, if this makes it taste like people say I can finally benefit from it. Lastly, what you tested with your friends in this video is called "flavor parties" by people on the internet as well. Learn something new everyday,
Everyone needs to grow a miracle berry plant. Fight against the FDA.

These videos are great keep up the good work!❤️
thanks!
My miracle berry plant is about to flower for the first time. I cant wait!
What it means is big business a n big pharma will squash the small innovator every time.
I enjoy your videos. Miracle berry makes cheap wine taste good too.
lmao at the cannibal holocaust theme music at the beginning hahaha
perfect for visiting friends or family who are bad at cooking.
Damn politicians. It's all about money for them isn't it?
Ate a strawberry with miracle berry.. perfection. now no regular strawberry comes close to how good it was
This was the most fun video!
Thanks!
Watching this November 2020, very fun to watch. Very informative. 😎
So why doesn't miracleberry make itself taste better? haha
That was a fun video. I have heard of this before but never had it myself. I would love to have it one day. Thanks for another fun vid!
That was a very interesting video, and so glad you were able to share the miracle of miracle berries with your friends. Good stuff (except the Marmite)!
Wow, this is a very interesting video. Screw aspartame.
It would be good to know how much the fruit costs and where we can buy them.
How would an umeboshi plum taste like with a miracle berry I wonder
that... it's a great idea
I imagine sweet. Theres dried plum snacks here that are very sweet with a sour overtone on it
A similar process happens with toothpaste. It blocks the sweet reception. On your tongue. That's why orange juice tastes like vomit after you brush
I know this video was a number of years ago, but I find it fascinating that nobody has commented on how scurrilous the FDA were (and are) when it comes to pushing through chemicals made by big business or those that have been lobbied for without proper long-term testing. Aspartame is now in virtually all sweetened products and is unequivocally bad for you. It all sounds conspiratorial. And it is. Money does rule at the expense of our health.
^^ underrated comment
SecondaryMetabolite Woah, my English teacher just got turned on.
Right on! That organization is corrupt to the core and honestly I think the public needs to overthrow it. They are profiting from vaccines AND setting the vaccine schedule. That conflict of interest alone is absolutely despicable and grounds for them to be dismantled. If someone doesn’t stop them, there will be 200 vaccines on that schedule one day, you mark my words.
SecondaryMetabolite Wow, I’m shocked to see someone defending aspartame. It does have neurotoxic effects, which is why a lot of people with neurological diseases are advised to avoid it. Of course natural substances like alcohol can be neurotoxic too. I try to avoid anything that’s going to kill brain cells, natural or man made.
"Cider vinegar taste like ass"
Girl: i like it
where can you buy the actual seed so i can plant a tree?. this seed is imposible to find online.
maybe you could buy the fresh fruit and extract the seed yourself
Weird Explorer do you know a store online that sells it ?. :)
flyingfoxfruits.com they might have seeds too!
Weird Explorer Thank you !
karina ocasio I got a Seedling tree from eBay for cheap
freaky fruit! thx 4 posting this!!!
I love my marmite! I eat it by the spoonful straight out of the bottle! Hahahaa!
You monster
@@simonbecker748 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
nice a hand of applause
I’ve got 2 muracle plant but it’s still small. The seller of the plant gave me a fruit as sample but he told me not to eat the seed. So I planted the seed instead & wait for it to grow.
So basically marmite is poop?
Beer poop, yes. :P
No, no. The poop goes in the beer, marmite is more like the shreded dead bodies of millions of yeast cells after they died of intoxication inside their own poop.
I’m going to look for “Miracle Berry” Here in Côté d’Ivoire. Nice video 🖐🏿
You can fool your taste buds, but likely not the teeth sensitive to acid... The unlimited eating of lemons and vinegar may end in some burns of the mouth as well.
I'm having a tummy ache just watching .
Thought of buying a tree. Theyre under 10 dollars here in malaysia. Around 7 dollars with free shipping. Maybe id buy one soon
@Weird Explorer what is the intro song of your video?
tyvm!
Yeah, that was kind of creeping me out, since I was VERY familiar with that music.
"Hey it's the weird fruit guy! Let's see what he's got this time!"
There is one question that I haven't been able to find yet and that is how long does the effect last?
For 2 months
Omg coffee with sprinkles! haha so cute
I’m buying my miracle fruit bush tomorrow. Can’t wait..
I hosted a Miracle-Berry party with similar reactions. Thanks.
Have you done a video for goumi berries?
I haven't! I did find a rare relative to it a couple months ago though :)
I was totally ignorant of this fruit mind you even less of all the different possible health benefits that could and can be obtained from consuming it properly. After learning this I immediately googled if and how it would work as a smoking cessation with no definite yes or no answer but, I did come across a product being sold under the name Mberry sold in popular retail stores. Do you have any updated videos of the products sold pertaining to this fruit or any known answers if it could be used as a smoking cessation? Thanks so much for educating us.
I apologize for the long feedback but, I also read people commenting on the internet that drinking vinegar after using miracle berries, the vinegar will taste similar to that of apple juice! I'm not a fan of vinegar but, if this makes it taste like people say I can finally benefit from it. Lastly, what you tested with your friends in this video is called "flavor parties" by people on the internet as well. Learn something new everyday,
I haven't heard of how it can be used for smoking cessation. but do keep us updated if you find it helpful!
@@WeirdExplorer Will do. By the way I meant to ask was it apple cider vinegar or just white vinegar you all tested?
Try eating Moringa a seed and try this test. They have the same effect, possibly even more potent.
I didn't notice that effect when I tried moringa
@@WeirdExplorer Hmm I wonder if it might be the variety. We actually chewed the seeds and only ran the taste test using water.
U ought to try to get these marketed again
Hi my miracle berry plant just got the berries for the first time..can I freeze these berries ??
Yes! They still are effective after freezing.
wife her up bro
Slump Production dude i was just thinking this when i read your comment
she's super wifey material kinda nerdy cute and sweet and attractive and you can tell she digs you bro.
Wonder if theyre still friends
Miracle berry + kaffir lime? Or some other very astringent citrus?
that guy looks like luiz suarez
The only way people eat marmite in the UK is on toast. I don't even think it goes well with anything else. And personally I don't love or hate it lol
+UR3ANFISH I love the stuff, but yeah toast is the best place for it. Sometimes I'll cook with it to make food taste more savory.
Me too. Tastes great in soups, and on sandwiches. I love marmite.
