Is “miracle berry” elderberry?

No. Miracle berry ( Synsepalum dulcificum) is an evergreen shrub that is native to tropical West Africa. Outside of the tropics, it is a houseplant that is also known as sweet berry and miracle fruit. It increases the perceived sweetness of foods. For instance, you eat the miracle fruit and a lemon tastes like lemon aide.

So, taking apple-flavored Ivermectin might taste like apple-cider?

Miracle berry “blinds” both the acid and bitter taste buds in your mouth for a short while.

Meh. I like lemons just as God made them, and my lemonade au naturel. I’ve read about those fruits before. They don’t interest me, as I haven’t got a sweet tooth. I prefer tart, spicy, bitter, anything over sweet. Oh yeah, sour is icky too.

My husband is just the opposite. Buys a 3-lb bag of sugar a few times a year, blonde color because he thinks it’s healthier, and puts it on everything. Even bananas. Ewww....
