Miracle Fruit - Throwing a Wild and Crazy Flavor Tripping Party

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard of the new craze sweeping the nation: flavor tripping parties! Sometimes commanding $40 or $50 a head in order to participate, these events are still wildly popular thanks to the one of a kind experience they offer.  But now, thanks to the introduction of inexpensive freeze dried Miracle Berry Fruit, you can host your own flavor tripping parties without breaking the bank on fresh miracle fruit berries that cost a few dollars a pop.

So, what exactly are flavor tripping parties?

As you might have guessed, flavor tripping parties are exactly what they sound like.  The best part, however is that the "tripping" doesn't involve any kind of illegal or dangerous drugs.  In fact, the flavor altering substance in question is a perfectly harmless side effect of the amazing little berry called the miracle fruit.

Miracle fruit? What's so miraculous about it?

Miracle fruit has the amazing ability to turn almost any sour or bitter food into a deliciously sweet treat.  Lemons, limes, rhubarbs, you name it --many formerly pucker-inducing foods are transformed into irresistible delights.  Miracle fruit performs this miraculous feat due to the presence of a unique substance called miraculin.  This glycoprotein tricks your taste buds into thinking acidic, bitter or sour foods are now as sweet as can be.  Thus "flavor tripping" was born!

How do I throw my own flavor tripping party?

Great question! Throwing your own flavor tripping party is actually very simple -- the results, however, are always spectacular!  Before you start inviting all of your friends though, there are a few supplies that you will need.

The first and most important are the miracle fruit tablets.  Depending on the size of your guest list you will need one or two large packages.  Keep in mind that you can split the large tablets in half to do more with less.  Once you have your freeze dried tablets, it's time to consider what kinds of foods and drinks you will be serving.  Your best bet is to stock up on plenty of citrus fruits, which are always a hit.  Cheeses, pickled goods and various alcohols also work well.

Here are a few ideas to spark your imagination:

  • Lemons, limes and rhubarbs
  • Cheeses like smoked gouda or brie
  • Wines such as chardonnay or white zinfandel
  • Beers such as Guinness
  • Cheap tequila will also be a pleasant surprise

When everyone arrives, break each miracle fruit tablet in half and instruct your friends to let it slowly dissolve on their tongues for a few minutes.  Now, the fun can begin!

It's a good idea to start slow by allowing everyone to taste simple foods like the lemons.  Then you can move on to more creative combinations like jalapenos and hot sauce! Just use your imagination.  The most exciting part of flavor tripping events is discovering new and wonderful combinations of foods that you would never have tried, much less enjoyed before.

Your friends will be talking about the flavour tripping experience for weeks to come!
