MiraBurst is a fruit berry from Ghana, West Africa which contains a single seed with a layer of pulp around the seed. The miracle fruit’s pulp contains a glycoprotein called miraculin. The miraculin, a taste modifier, binds the individual’s taste buds for up to 90 minutes, creating a sweet taste to those foods normally acidic or sour.
