I read today in the New Scientist about “Miracle Berries”, seen below. Eat one and for twenty minutes or so sour things will taste sweet. Isn’t that remarkable?
A link to the NS article is below, and there is also information on Wikipedia.
Naturally I want to grow some and the seeds are on their way.

I remember trying these and some leaves of another plant that affected taste, at an OU tutorial some years ago. I forget for which module.
Lemons tested extremely sweet after chewing the berry or leaves![smile smile](https://learn1.open.ac.uk/theme/image.php/osep/core/1720690982/s/smiley)
