This is what happens when you eat miracle fruit

If there’s one thing South Dade does well, it’s fruit stands, so we hit up one of Miami’s most iconic, Robert Is Here, for our neighborhood guide. There you’ll find weird and wonderful milkshakes, local jams, jellies and salsas, and a huge range of bizarre, tropical fruits from mamey to sapotes to lychees to miracle fruit.

You’ll also find miracle fruit. They’re small, red berries that rewire your tastebuds for about an hour after you eat them, turning everything sour into something sweet. And because we can, we rounded up our coworkers and neighbors at CIC Miami to try miracle fruit and then eat lemons, straight-up.
