Miracle fruit is a tropical west African
plant whose small red fruit has a very unusual property. After
eating one miracle fruit, sour fruits will instantly taste sweet.
The marvelous aroma and inherent sweetness remains but the sourness
is almost completely covered. The effect lasts an hour or two.
The miracle fruit is a remarkable natural sweetener. |

The abiu (Pouteria caimito) is a native
fruit crop to the warm and moist lowlands of South America and
can be found growing wild throughout much of Amazonia , it also
thrives in warm subtropical and tropical conditions. Light yellow
and less pointed at the end than the Yellow Sapote, the Abiu has
caramel flavoured flesh and it is sometimes used to flavour ice
cream and make other desserts, which is translucent and is rich
in vitamins A, B2 and C. It is also a rich source of energy and
fibre. In Brazil the pulp from the plant is used medicinally, to relieve coughs and bronchitis. Of course, most people love the fruit's flavour, which is enhanced when eaten slightly chilled. Cut in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon and enjoy! |

The native is southern Brazil. Takes long
time to begin flowering after potting as a bonsai. It blooms about two times a year in Taiwan. The flower has delicate white petals with stamens and comes in clusters on the trunk, large branches and exposed roots. The tree begins to bear fruit when it is 5 to 7 years old. Its edible purple berries are globular shaped, 3/4" to 1 1/2" in diameter, develops very quickly; from blooms to ripe fruit about three weeks. It is good to eat fresh. Available in nurseries in the warmer climates and from bonsai specialty growers. |
