Planting fruit seeds now includes planting Miracle fruit seeds. Curious? Miracle fruit seeds, synsepalum dulcificum, are seeds from the little red, tasteless West African miracle fruit, or miracle berry as it's sometimes called. The miracle happens not when you're planting fruit seeds from this fruit but when you eat it. When you eat these seeds is that everything that normally tastes sour or bitter now tastes sweet! A miracle? Maybe. Something like turning water into wine... People who have tried eating the miracle fruit seeds tells about how vinegar tasted sweet, how beer tasted like milkshake and how they without any problem or discomfort could eat lots of lemon! The miracle fruit seeds may not only be fun but also useful. In the future we may see planting fruit seeds from the miracle fruit come to use for example in patients with cancer eating miracle fruits seeds to get rid of the metallic taste that every kind of food gets after kemo therapy.
When you buy edible miracle fruit seeds on the Internet or in shops, you don't get an actual fruit but a tablet with the ground extract from the miracle fruit seeds. The tablets are usually small and have a pinkish color and tastes like rosehip. You get the tablets on charts in a yellow or green package. “Taste tripping” is the latest trend in New York and San Francisco (and will probably soon spread all over the world). In taste tripping the participants get a tablet made of ground miracle fruit seeds and then revel in a buffet of different kinds of normally very sour or other ways unpleasant things; lemon, garlic, tabasco. The buffet can also include food like tomato, fruits, fish and everything you can think of! The imagination is the only limit. You may want to be careful; only because something tastes sweet or okay in your mouth, it may give you a burning feeling in the throat! The tongue is the area which is strongly affected by the miracle fruit seeds. Kids loves this, but don't be too experimental; they'll be amazed only by how different an apple tastes! No need to take any risks...
In previous articles I've discussed some common circumstances when it comes to planting fruit seeds. Planting miracle fruit seeds isn't that different from planting any other kind of fruit seeds, you don't need a miracle method to get miracle fruit! First you have to germinate the miracle seeds. The miracle fruit seeds requires an acidic environment with a pH value between 4,5 and 5,8. this is very important; alkaline soil will badly damage the seeds and may even be harmful to a full grown plant. To achieve the acidic environment you can use peat moss and perlite and mix this with the soil. Fill a pot with well drained soil with the right pH and put the miracle fruit seeds in. Then cover them with a thin layer of soil. A small greenhouse or a simple plastic bag or bottle will increase and make the humidity stable. Some people mean that the seeds will germinate faster and better if you soak them in water for some hours or over the night before putting them into the soil. The amount of seeds that will actually germinate isn't very big so start with many seeds and be prepared that maybe only a few of them will turn out to be something that can grow further. After some weeks the seeds should have germinated and gotten sprouts. When you get a plant that is some decimeters high, you can begin to expect it to fruit. Though, to get a plant that high usually takes at least one or two years. Planting fruit seeds from the miracle fruit will finally result in a berry that will revolutionize your senses! Get on the latest trend and start planting fruit seeds from the miracle fruit!
