A party I have yet to throw, but have been wanting to do forever, is the miracle fruit party!  Sure, you don’t have to throw a party just to eat this crazy little berry, but it’s another good excuse to get together!

I’m raving about the synsepalum dulcificum berry from West Africa, widely known as the miracle fruit or miracle berry! This small grape sized berry, when digested, tricks your taste buds into thinking… all things sour and salty are now sweet! Wouldn’t it be an amazing idea for a trippy party, a candyland birthday in disguise, a sweet tooth’s cocktail party, or even to sweeten up a bridal shower! Not actually having to put down any sweets on the table.

Providing an exciting twist for your soiree. Just image a table full of lemons, goat cheese, crackers and Guinness beer. But you taste, lemonade, icing, cake, and  milkshakes.

Although it will be hard to find this delectable delight in your local grocery there are plenty of places to purchase the berries ($4 each) , and tablets ($15 depending on amount), and even the whole plant (about $30), and much more!

I would love to know what you think of this idea or if you have already attended or thrown your own party!
