I actually work with this fruit. We concentrate it, dry it and sell it to food and pharmacuticle industries. I basically have a constant sweet taste in my mouth. We concentrate 360kg of raw fruit down to about 75l of liquid. The sweetness will blow your head off.
SORTEDfood I do belive what you used in this video is a slightly different fruit to what we use. But the taste bud altering protein is the same. our website www.thaumatin.com/science-of-thaumatin
My actual house has this very plant! A friend of my brother ate it and drank a lot of vinegar. He says it's very sweet but he has horrible, horrible diarrhea day after. Safe to say, he was an idiot.
I bought these tablets for some fun at Christmas a few years ago, along with a load of fruit. Lemon's taste more like an Orange and something as sweet as a Strawberry tastes like cake, and I mean it, it takes like a chunk of cake it's so sweet (but still with strawberry flavor. Grapes were pretty good as well.
I got something else gymnema sylvestre it's not a berry but a plant ,native to India and sri lanka , you eat one of it's leaves and then try to eat anything sweet and it completely renders it neutral , like after a leaf you eat a spoon full of sugar it will feel like you're eating sand I've actually tried it and it blew my mind off .. commonly it's used for diabetes patients not to cure but make them eat less sweet food
if you ever notice a webpage not loading/working correctly you might have to turn it off, but it'll only turn off for that page.. just click the icon and there's a big on/off button.. it's like surfing a whole new internet
The conspiracy theory Ben mentions might actually be true. About the same time there were two competing theories about what was making people obese. Ancel Keys identified dietary fat, John Yudkin identified sugar. The sugar industry threw its weight (no pun intended) behind Keys and Yudkin was discredited. And this the fat-free food craze was born with sugar replacing fat. And people still got obese.
Belinus That's so interesting. What made things worse was that high fructose corn syrup ended up replacing sugar. And HFC causes 50% more weight gain than cane sugar. It was an independent study done by Princeton University if anyone wanted to know where I got that info from.
@@IrKeNoVa It's not, actually - berries were *very* much a part of our diet way back when. Ketosis is an alternative metabolic state, for when you don't have enough glucose normally to run your brain. It can lead to, in extremes, some serious problems as the body is unable to keep up with the ketone production. So no, it's not the "natural" human diet. Ultimately, what makes you fat is, well... calories in excess of what you burn. Sugar just makes it really easy to have a *lot* of calories, and both fewer satiety signals and less energy consumed to convert food to energy result. A ketogenic diet is certainly doable - and is certainly more viable than a lot of other fad diets - but it's simply that; a diet (usually for short-term weight loss).
People have been getting more and more obese. Take a look at photos from the sixties and seventies, or even old movies like "The Goonies." Chunk was considered fat back then, and now that's what most kids look like. And then look up some of the recipes from back then -- scrambled eggs with one tablespoon (not teaspoon) of butter per egg, and one for the pan.
Haha, I remember playing with those. Eating lemons was good, it turned mandarins into some sort of hypersweet wonder fruit, and a glass of vinegar still had zing, but was like a tasty soda!
I realise this is a LOT later, but it would be interesting to see what kind of foods Ben and James could put together that are super healthy, but more or less needs the berry to be edible/tasty.
This review is so cool. We even put the link on our website. If you live in the UK you can now buy the real freeze dried berry from Berry Yummy. Post lockdown parties are going to be sweet!!
Where did you buy yours? Kombucha and Kefir drinks are amazing with the berries. If you live in the UK you can buy actual berries from www.berryyummy.co.uk
My classmates and I popped miracle berries in our food pilot plant lab! Eating lemon wedges tasted like the best lemonade ever created, the downside was the acidity was still at work, so use with caution and watch out for stomach aches 😂.
Indian gooseberries ( amla) are a sour fruit. But if you have water after a bite of gooseberry it tastes sweet. We used to be so delighted by it as a kid
Honestly the most interesting bit was when Ben spoke about the sugar industry shutting it down. Damn! I wonder if our food would be super healthy if they’d been allowed to continue.
There is something called Lemba Fruit in Malaysia which is a wild plant that has similar effect but it doesn't change acidic food to taste sweet but instead it will make bland water into sweet, so you can teaches kid to drink more water. However the effect doesn't really last that long. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curculin
We have gooseberries. Very bitter but drink water quickly after and it tastes sweet. Had my mind blown when first tried as a kid. It's a rite of passage around here. Good times..
okay, will say that this miracle berry does probarbly have some of the negative effects of artifical sweetners. It makes you think that you're eating something sweet, so your body prepares for that, so your body get's confused, because it thought it would get calories, but it didn't. In general it's not directly unhealthy, but it does change or weird out the response your body has to sweets.
Good point. We are working on creating donuts and cookies. Kombucha and Kefir drinks are amazing with the berries. If you live in the UK you can buy actual berries from www.berryyummy.co.uk
One should also mention that right after the entirely and completely natural miracle berry was declared a food additive... aspartame was declared a safe ingredient.
Awww, I'm a little disappointed you didn't do the classic "drink some plain white vinegar" thing with this. It would have been great to see the guys' reaction to it.
@@berryyummy-thatsweetfeelin5314 I have not, but will probably do so when my children are a bit older (and I'm unfortunately not in the UK, but thanks)!
Hey guess what! I had these berries just last night and I tried sipping vinegar after and I was blown! It was like unbelievable! It was the sweetest thing ever!
Good point! Have had the berry before? Super sweet lol! Kombucha and Kefir drinks are amazing. If you live in the UK you can buy it from www.berryyummy.co.uk
Maybe the sugar industry had a part in it, but the fact that it can temporarily alter the function of taste buds probably was a factor as well. For most people, the effect lasts about 30 minutes, but there are a few people that claim their taste buds didn't return to normal for a couple of days.
I had fresh miracle berries on a banana plantation in Australia, and then tasted various sweet and sour fruits. It was the most bizarre experience ever as they were swapped. Unfortunately, we had to wait for the effects to wear off before we went to eat.
Hi Sorted Food folks, where did you order yours? I love flavours, desperately want to try these! But I'm clueless about ordering the right ones for reasonable price, I'm based in the Netherlands, I did some search but not sure what is legit, help!
Not going to post a link because I am not an advertiser, but you can definitely find miracle berry tablets on the thinkgeek website. I've been buying them from there for the past seven-ish years? Though they really do not keep long so make sure you use them up or it'll be a waste.
Good observation Erica. The berry works with anything that is fermented, sour or acidic. So hot sauce with vinegar inside will taste sweet. If you live in the UK you can buy it from www.berryyummy.co.uk
I think there's something wrong with me.. I found the talking cartoon Ben very attractive when he was bop-ing his head from left to right while talking.
You have to eat it first and separately. Its because the glycoprotein is sensitive to heat and it breaks down. However with smoothies, it is refreshingly sweet. If you live in the UK you can buy it from www.berryyummy.co.uk

Eating too much grapefruits, lemons or oranges after MBerry might result in diarrhae too.
Summary: Ben got some pills off the internet, and Jamie wanted to see who lasted the longest.
Haha
you should make a recipe designed to only work while using these berries

Can we just talk about barrys hair? I mean those curls are on point;)
Tried it with sour fruits or out of season fruits & yum!!! I'm in love.
finally, i was wondering when you guys would do the berry test :P
When I tried the berry tablet, I was able to drink apple cider vinegar, and eat a full lemon! Oranges taste incredible as well
this might just be my phone, but did the first minute or so sound kinda echoey to anyone else?
Mike continuing to eat the apple in amazement 😂. It makes me so happy.
Balsamic vinegar and lemons were my favorites when I did it
When I worked at a grocery store the produce manager had us try these. They are very trippy but a fun party trick.
I was singing "Super Geek" in my head for the whole of the intro 😂
This video reminded me how much I've been wanting to try this berry. I just bought some from Amazon. Yay Prime Day!
Berry Yummy now sell it on a special discount. Only for UK customers.

Yep i am buying
salt and vinegar crisps are awesome. tastes kinda like sweet and sour crisps with the addition of mberry.
Where did you buy yours? Kombucha and Kefir drinks are amazing with the berries. If you live in the UK you can buy actual berries from www.berryyummy.co.uk
I've done this myself with family, it's a lot of fun
I tried these at school and took a shot of vinegar - sure, I couldn't taste it but it BURNED my throat. 10/10 would not recommend.
Really? The shot of vinegar was one of the best bits for me. It just felt so surreal drinking it. It's fun stuff.
That's a really interesting point... you can't *taste* the acid, but it still has an effect on your body!
SORTEDfood super geekay...
Sorry I laughed
Last time I was this early, Tyrone wasn't born
I could imagine this as a new title, Berry with Barry. Just having barry say facts about berries and cooking/tasting it in several ways.

Every time they say berry, it sounds like Barry...can you guys put a berry crown or something on Barry? Makes sense.
I went like “wait, Barry week? Was it his birthday or sth?” at the beginning of the video 😂
I've always wanted to try these berries! I wanna taste the sensation!
That is fascinating but when I eat sour food I eat it because it’s sour. I love grapefruits and don’t want it to taste like tangerine.
my mother eats green/granny smith apples out of hand, they're her favorite. it's super weird.

You should try it with orange and unsweetened chocolate. Great combination. If you live in the UK you can buy the berry from www.berryyummy.co.uk
It didn't work with anything that wasn't sour. Unsweetened chocolate isn't sour. You would have to add a tart component for it to work.

can people get ahold of the actual berry or do they only ship the pill form?

Can the berry be used in like a smoothie or baking it into something or do you need to eat it first and separately
