You remember Miraculix, the druid from Asterix. The almost magical substance that makes the berries so special has a very similar name, namely Miraculin. This covers the sour taste buds on the tongue for about two hours after consumption. Any normally acidic foods enjoyed during this time will taste sweet. For example, lemon like honey, wine like syrup.
Sour becomes sweet – miracle fruit – this is how the miracle berries work
