Did you know?

The berry itself is nearly tasteless, but the protein miraculin it contains temporarily alters taste perception, so sour foods eaten afterwards are perceived as sweet. The effect lasts about half an hour.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
