Grow your own fascinating Miracle Fruit plant, shipped in a 3-gallon pot and approximately 2–3 feet tall. Native to West Africa, this unique tropical plant produces small red berries that temporarily alter your taste perception.

The fruit contains a natural glycoprotein called miraculin, which inhibits the taste buds’ perception of sour flavors for 30 minutes to a couple of hours. After eating the berry, lemons taste like sweet lemonade, and other sour fruits like grapefruit and strawberries taste noticeably sweeter.

Miracle Fruit is also known for helping mask metallic aftertastes, making it popular among specialty gardeners and collectors of rare edible plants. It is best grown in containers and can remain in a large pot long-term.
