The Miracle Fruit is Thriving

A few weeks ago, I got the chance to eat the first miracle fruit from my young bush. I planted the seed in a pot on the countertop and noticed today that it sprouted. These are very slow growing plants, so it will take years to produce fruit.

Below is the third berry. I gave the second to a friend and it totally messed up her happy hour. She made a limeade-rum drink and could not drink it because it was so sugary. I think I'll give this one to my Mom. She has been wanting to try it for a while.

Something I noticed...people are often leary about trying the fruit. The general perception is that MF is some type of new genetically engineered fruit that people should not be eating. This is not the case

  4. Ha! I will have to remember that and avoid eating these before beer!

    No, I was not at the sandbar the other weekend- although we go out there fairly often! I will look for you the next time we go!

    My miracle fruit has just now started putting out new leaves. I was worried I was going to lose it, but it's coming back!
