Wow, well I think miracle fruit has finally hit the mainstream. Today, CNN picked the trend and talked about miracle fruit and it’s potential ability to help cancer patients after chemotherapy.

“What happens in patients is the food tastes so metallic and bland, it becomes repulsive,” said Dr. Mike Cusnir, a lead researcher on the project and oncologist at Mount Sinai Medical Center. “Most of the patients undergoing chemotherapy have weight loss. Then they cut further into their diet and then this furthers the weight loss. It causes malnutrition, decreased function of the body and electrolyte imbalance.”

(edit: looking to purchase your own miracle fruit tablets: visit our main site)

So, although not yet approved by the FDA for that purpose, it’s always good to hear that your product is going to potentially help those that are struggling with a terrible disease, and a treatment that destroys one of the best senses: taste.

I’d like to take the time to give a huge thank you to all our Canadian customers for supporting Miracle Fruit Express. Since our exposure in the Toronto Star we have received tons of orders and inquiries from our northern friends. We are working hard to find a way to be able to reliably ship plants and berries to Canada without customs restrictions, but at this time only our miracle fruit tabs are available to be shipped north.

So thanks again, and keep spreading the word about miracle fruit

Alright, so I decided to simplify the site by adding free first class shipping to all our tabs. This means that you get your item shipped out for the price you see, and it arrives fast! That’s right, none of that ‘parcel post’ b.s., your items arrive real quick. If you live in Arizona, you’ll get your item next day automatically! Otherwise, you can expect a 1-5 day delivery time, with the average being 3 days, including the day it was ordered.

If you need your item faster, you can upgrade to priority 2-3 day guaranteed for only five bucks.

If you really need it fast, we also offer USPS Guaranteed overnight delivery, but be sure to order before 4PM so we can get it out in time!

I came across a very interesting article written by Donna McVicar Cannon. It is a comprehensive history, analysis, and safety review of the miracle fruit. It touches on early attempts at spreading it, as well as scientific endeavors to isolate the active glycoprotein, miraculin (the ingredient in our tabs!) It’s a little long, but it really shows how miracle fruit should be as common as an apple or orange, and why.

Everybody knows about what to try after miracle fruit: lemons, limes, grapefruits etc., Any fruit will turn into candy. But what about some unlikely things?

I can’t imagine the first person to think about trying it, but pure vinegar (after a miracle berry) tastes very sweet. Cheap beer tastes like diet soda. A drop of honey spread on any food makes it significantly sweeter, without added calories. Fine Wine tastes like Boone’s Farm. Kamikaze and SoCo-Lime shots are (more) enjoyable! Sour Patch Kids and any sour candy simply taste sweet. Salads, especially tomatoes, become sweeter in general without dressing. Finally Cottage Cheese mixed with fruit tastes like cake filling.
