Taste A Miracle

Mark Opatow
Alicia Zuckerman holds a miracle fruit seed

A tiny berry called a “miracle fruit” transforms your taste buds for about two hours.  The fruit is from a tree originally grown in West Africa.  The grower who ships them across the U.S. is based here in South Florida.  His name is Curtis Mozie and he calls himself theMiracle Fruit Man.  Alicia Zuckerman went to the Fort Lauderdale farm for a tasting.
