Synsepalum dulcificum
They call it miracle fruit. My brother encountered this fruit in Turkey last week.
What's special about this fruit is after you have chew the fruit inside your mouth, making sure the juices coats your tongue. Eating lemon won't be sour anymore but sweet. Yes, SWEET! Bitter medicine also tastes sweet! Anyone know where to get some?

Re: Synsepalum dulcificum
Hi Ban Aik! Well bro, we're on the same wave length...I just started searching for this last week. Who ever finds it first lets order for each other too! There's a newish book out called "The Fruit Hunters" that has a good chapter on this fruit as well as many other chapters dealing with fruits and especially the obsessive people that are into them like we're into CP's!

Re: Synsepalum dulcificum
I'll re-read the chapter and post some notes. The author did interview someone who produces loads of it in America. They also discuss the fact that the sugar industry lobby pushed through legislation to make it impossible to grow as a 'marketable' product in America and only allow small quantities to be sold as 'novelty' items. The berries apparently are only effective for 1-2 days after picking. As I said, I'll re-read and post a bit more later.
