Miracle Fruit Berry ? the Latest Culinary Discovery Makes Sour Food Sweet

The Miracle Fruit Plant (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a plant first documented in 1725 during an excursion to its native West Africa. Local tribes picked the berry from shrubs and chewed it before meals. Miracle Fruit Berries contain a harmless active glycoprotein which temporarily gently binds to the tongue’s taste buds, causing bitter and sour foods, such as lemons and rhubarb, consumed after eating miracle fruit, to taste sweet. It is extremely simple to use: just chew the fruit or dissolve one “tablet” on your tongue and the effect will last from 10 minutes to 2 hours, depending mostly on what you eat. When the effect wears off, everything tastes as before (lemons are sour again).

Miracle Fruit is safe and has no known side effects (well, lemons taste sweet!). It has been used for centuries (in Africa) and for decades in the US and Asia. Miracle Fruit is available as fresh fruits or freeze dried extract which can be stored for a much longer period of time. Miracle Fruit berries can be chewed before eating sour fruit (grapefruit, rhubarb, lemons, strawberries and similar) or used in combination with special recipes to make sugar free desserts. The desserts can be made without sugar and artificial sweeteners, pure freshly squeezed natural fruit juices are more than enough to make any dessert extremely sweet. Besides desserts, Miracle Fruit can also be used to prepare sugar free cocktails, 100% natural lemonades and other delicious drinks. Innovative chefs like Ian Kleinman of Westin, Colorado, are using Miracle Fruit powder and tablets to make innovative foods like Miracle Fruit gum and miracle fruit popsicles.

Miracle Fruit first caught attention of party goers. Numerous Miracle Fruit parties have been organized worldwide, some of which received wide media coverage in newspapers like New York Times and The Guardian. Foods served at a typical Miracle Fruit Party include all sorts of citrus fruits, dark chocolate, wine, beer, cocktails, and essential fresh strawberries, kiwi and rhubarb. Miracle Fruit can also improve the taste after chemotherapy. Results are inconclusive but it seems to work in around 50% of all cases. It also has endless possibilities as a sugar substitute for diabetes patients. They can finally enjoy in desserts without sugar and controversial artificial sweeteners, some of which have been rumored to cause health problems.

In Japan, Miracle Fruit tablets have been on sale since 2006. Miracle Fruit Café’s, serving sugar free desserts and Miracle Fruit berries have become very popular in Japan in the past two years. Tablets are of medicinal quality and produced in a pharmaceutical clean room. They contain no artificial additives (such as colorants or preservatives).

Miracle Fruit is also known as Synsepalum dulcificum, Frutto dei miracoli, Fruta maravillosa, Fruto milagro, Fruta de milagro, Frutamilagrosa, Sideroxylon dulcificum, Mirakelfrukten, Mirakelfrukt, Mirakelbær, Mirakelbaer, Wunderbeere, Mirakelbes and Le Fruit Miraculeux.

MiracleFruitWorld was the first authorized distributor of Miracle Fruit products outside Asia. A constantly updated list of fruits, sugar free drinks and sugar free recipes is available at http://www.miraclefruitworld.com(International), Wunderbeere (German speaking) and Fruta Milagrosa (Spanish) sites.

Raw Food Diet – How it Increases Energy For a Typical American Dieter – In TCM Perspective

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:30:19 +0000

I. What is raw food diet?

The raw food diet is defined as a type of diet of which at least 75% of the daily diet must be unprocessed and uncooked foods or foods can not be heating above 115 degree of Fahrenheit or 40 °C, including fresh fruit and vegetables and raw meats.

II. What is a typical American diet?

1. Too many calories

A typical American dieter eats more than he/she needs that decreases the function of spleen and stomach in food absorption due to prolong period of congestion.

2. Too much unsaturated fat and trans fat

Too much unsaturated fat from meats, trans fat, fried and junk foods increase bad cholesterol ( LDL) and decreases level of good cholesterol (HDL), leading to cholesterol and triglycerides accumulated in the arteries that block the blood transportation. According to TCM, those oily and greasy foods are yang pathogen and hot in nature, they causes weight gain and increases function of stomach in food digestion, thus affecting spleen in qi absorption.

3. Sugar sweetener, artificial ingredients and beverages

Sugar and sweetener is extreme yin pathogen and cold in nature. As the body moister is dried up caused extreme yang due to intake of meats and oily foods for prolong period of time, intake of extreme cold foods cause heat building up, leading to symptoms of dry-heat that effects the Spleen function in energy distribution.

4. Low vegetables and fruits

Vegetables and fruits, most of them are considered yin pathogen and cool in nature, low vegetables and fruits diet can not counter the extreme yang accumulated in the body.

III. How raw food diet increases energy for a typical American dieter in TCM perspective

Spleen is defined as organ responsible for absorption and transportation of energy (nutrients)

to every cells and organ in the body after food being digested in stomach. In TCM, the typical American diet causes yin deficiency, it reduces the level of moister of the spleen and stomach that is necessary for natural function of both organs in food absorption, leading to constipation and decreasing the energy generation.

Raw food diet is yin pathogen and cool in nature, by switching to raw food diet, it in turn slowly decreases the excessive yang and reduces the heat due to dryness in the body that help to improve water distribution of kidney in moistening the Spleen and stomach, thus increasing the ability of Spleen in qi absorption and energy distribution.
