| Miracle Fruit, Seeds and Plants..........Life can be so sweet ! |
| The Miracle Fruit Plant, sometimes known as Miracle Berry, or Magic Berry (Sideroxylon dulcificum/Synsepalum dulcificum) is a plant first documented by an explorer during a 1725 excursion to its native West Africa. It is an evergreen plant that produces small red berries the size of small grapes throughout the year. These fruits have been consumed for hundreds of years with no reported ill effects. Growing instructions click here.
It prefers an acidic well draining soil with 50% sunlight or less as a container plant. It does well indoors and is happy on a windowsill. Easy to care for and slow growing. Few pests and fewer diseases. Prefers high humidity and to be kept warm. Will not tolerate a hard frost.
The berry is slightly sweet, and contains an active glycoprotein molecule called miraculin. When eaten this molecule binds to the tongue’s sour receptor taste buds, causing bitter and sour foods (such as lemons and limes) consumed after to taste sweet. Your sour receptors do not send the sour signal. This effect lasts between thirty minutes and two hours. It is not a sweetener, as its effects depend on what is eaten afterwards, but has been used to sweeten bitter medicines and lessen most chemotherapy aftertaste to help restore apetite. Most famous for the sweet lemon trick; eat a miracle fruit and lemons taste sweet. Learn more click here. |

Miracle Fruit Berries ( READY NOW !!! - Demand is very high as we seem to be the only suplier of fresh fruit, non frozen.) |
| Please place an order or get on our waiting list for a specific date. Fruit is now ripening and will ship weekly. We strongly suggest you click overnight delivery if you will consume it, as it loses its properties within 4 days after harvest at room temerature. This fruit will be stem cut and packed wrapped in tissue paper and surrounded by ethylene gas absorbent plastic case to protect this very delicate fruit from going soft in transit. Don’t forget to plant the seeds! If you "only want seeds to plant" priority mail is fine and please type that in our additional comment box on our order form, this may lessen your wait as we have some imperfect fruits from time to time. |

Miracle Fruit 5-7" plants |
| These are seed grown plants at least 8 months old. The height is not as important as the roots and new growth. The plants we ship will be the best we have...and we have over a thousand to choose from. Small plants often have a slightly damaged leaf or two as they are very delicate when the new leaves form. Our plants are grown in real worl outdor conditions so they are better able to handle some stress when you get them home. |

Nutrient Rich Soil "Miracle Mix" $10 per pint. Worth every Penny!... Even if we doubled the price.
Enough to make your plant explode with new growth! It took 2+ years of testing but we cracked the Miracle Code for plant growth and fruit production. It is all in the roots - soil less mix to be more exact.
Our mix has everything your plant needs and these are pictures of our plants to prove our point. This same plant before the transplant 4 months ago into the "Miracle Mix" was supplying approximately 100-130 fruits every few months. Now this same plant has over 1000 new flowers forming and almost none have fallen off. This does slow ultimate production but with a payoff of 800%. We sell all the fruits we produce at $2 or more so this one plant with enhanced Miracle mix is worth $2000 come harvest time.
