High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Synsepalum dulcificum produces berries that, when eaten, cause sour foods (such as lemons and limes) subsequently consumed to taste sweet. This effect is due to miraculin, which is used commercially as a sugar substitute. Common names for this species and its berry include miracle fruit and miracle berry. These common names are shared also by Gymnema sylvestre and Thaumatococcus daniellii, two other species that are used to alter the perceived sweetness of foods. Additional common names include miraculous berry and sweet berry. In West Africa where the species originates, common names include agbayun, taami, asaa, and ledidi.
