No trip to visit our favorite scientist Ray Cronise would be complete without at least one experiment! In the final video from our trip to Huntsville, we tested out Miracle Berry Tablets and found out just how sweet fruit can be.
In case you don’t know Ray yet… he’s the co-author of our favorite whole food plant-based book The Healthspan Solution, host of Science & Saucery podcast, a former NASA scientist and so much more! He’s also the the mastermind behind Penn Jillette’s weight loss, which is what inspired us to get started on this entire adventure over two years ago.
Ray had quite the collection of Miracle Fruit tablets, but the ones we used in the video were from Miraland Berry. He also recommended the mberry brand. I included links for both of them on the blog post here in case you want to try them out yourself: bit.ly/KrockMiracleFruit
He prepared quite a spread of fruit for us to try out, including strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, grapefruit, watermelon, lemons, limes, pineapple, oranges, tomatoes, muscadines and scuppernongs! Watch the video to find out what happened when we put it to the test.

did u try it on bananas? or what about green apples..with that kinda tart bite that red apples lack? does it take away the bite & make them just sweet ~ like red ones? what about spinach or cucumber? or olives? any diff to savoury foods like those? and how about carrots? do they taste sweet sweet or just extra carroty? and hey what about those dragonfruit that look SO PRETTY but taste like nothing? would love to try it on those! sounds so much fun guys!
I don't understand all the negative comments. If you want to try it, do so. If you are skeptical , don't. It's as simple as that. No one is forcing miracle fruit on you. Knocks, you guys are amazing. I found this very interesting and I love learning new things. Thanks! ❤️
Fascinating! Now please tell me if there is something that'll make me dislike all junk food.
That would be great LOL
If you find it, let me know :)
Sweet Defeat is a tablet that does the exact opposite and takes away your sweet taste.
@@AtomicTungsten wait...what?? so if u eat sweets it wont taste sweet?? so chocolate will taste plain or boring? wouldnt that be great!
Many years ago, I ate the fresh berry that is the source of these tablets. My Dad had come across it and was thinking of growing them in Australia. It was an amazing experience. It made eating a lemon like eating a fantastic lemon pudding. I loved it and kept thinking this is going to be a huge hit. Then I ate some vegemite after that and vegemite is definitely not meant to be sweet. That was a bit off-putting. The effect lasted a couple of hours so it meant that you did not want to eat salty or sour foods after eating it. It certainly got me over sugar cravings and I have always wondered if anybody ever marketed this. Glad to see this on this show. Thanks Ray, Brian and Jessica for this episode.
Next time you do one of these test, use a toothpick. He keeps licking his fingers and dipping back into the plate.
Loved the video! Great job KROCKS! Sending you peace and love!
I’ve always wanted to do this thank you for sharing because now I’m definitely going to try it 😁
You should! It was really amazing to try! 😀
Ray: Isn't that amazin?
Krocks: Mm-hmm.
Ray: Isn't that crazy?
Krocks: Mm-hmm.
I was in the middle of buying it when u mentioned that there's links in your blog post, whew so I was able to buy it through your link and hopefully get you guys a few pennies :). Looking forward to doing a night of fruit with my kids
Oh I never thought about this but just straight up lemon or lime on shaved ice? YES!! It will literally be like a 4 calorie Italian ice!!!
Wow. Thats pretty awedome!!! So many fruits like that i am not a fan of because I dont like sour. Now i have to look into this! Great video guys!
Are yall still in Huntsville? Been a long time fan and was so excited to see yall visit my favorite place! Also glad to discover Roy. Yall are inspiring!!
Nahhh we were there for a few days a few weeks back. BUT! Someday we will be back and we'll do a meet up of some kind whenever it is possible. :)
“For all I know, I’m about to get drugged” 😂
🤣🤣🤣
How does this work with veggies because I frequently don’t like certain veggies?
...and the schnozberries taste like schnozberries!
I had that thought when she said the line similar to that. 🤣🤣🤣
That is what I was thinking the whole time!! 🤣😬
@@KrocksInTheKitchen Once I found what snozberries are I can't say that anymore lol.
I was about to say this. LOL
I would love to see how the proteins interact and change. This is interesting as all get out. Wish Ray would do some explanation on a white board.
Oh God, no! Don't get Ray started on a white board. We'd be there all day. 🤣🤣🤣
I enjoyed this fascinating experiment very much! Here’s a nerdy little fact I learned a while ago: grapefruits available today have actually been bred to be much sweeter and less bitter than they were 20 years ago. In fact bitter tastes in general are disappearing from our fruits and vegetables because people prefer much sweeter tastes than they used to.
I thought grapefruits tasted different from when I was a kid 🤣
I needed something fun to do with my family over the holidays...thanks for the super cool idea! ❤️
Go for it! Be sure to get some good sour fruits for them to try! 😀
Great video! 👍 Never heard of this, thanks for sharing it! Will be fun to do with the family for Thanksgiving
8:28 when he picks up the pack and it looks like one of the little pills goes flying. :)
This is so cool! Wish I knew about it when my kids were young - would have been such a fun experiment to do with th3m 😊
I avoid a lot of fruits because I hate that sour taste. You never know what some fruit will taste like until you bite into it. I am really excited to try this. If this works as well as you guys say, it will open up so many fruit options for me..
It was an incredible experiment to try. And believe me, if anything can make me like grapefruit, it truly is a miracle. 🤣🤣🤣
Why have we never heard of this?!?! Is there a down side to doing this, is it bad for you? I'm very intreged! Is one brand better than another? So many questions.
From what I've read, there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating miracle fruit. 😀
the trees can grow in south florida :) i've never actually had the tablets just the fruit
alright i have to know what miracle fruit tablets are lol! super interesting!
Miracle fruit tablets are just the powdered form of the miracle fruit berry. They have been grown in West Africa and Asia for a very long time. 😀
Some of these comments are so lame. Fun experiment!
😂❤️ glad you enjoyed it!
Sounds great. Def want to try it but I can totally see a binge happening
Oh I am definitely doing this. I'll finally eat a grapefruit! x
I want to try a tablet then drink black coffee. Curious if it would eliminate the bitterness. My husband only drinks his black and I can't handle it. I have to put soy milk and liquid stevia in it. I so want to try these tablets!!! 👍👍
This was a fascinating experiment. Sour is one of the flavors I love best. (Sweet is the other one.) But I’d love to try it sometime. I love Jessica joking about taking tablets that Cray Ray is handing out. Hahaha.
😬 I had to 🤣🤣🤣
reminds me of willy wonka “a snozzberry tastes like a snozzberry! “
This is so cool.
We thought so. 😀
Sadly not available for delivery in the UK ☹️
I wonder if this is something that would be helpful for senior citizens and cancer patients? I wonder if this would help with their appetite. Of course, they would have to consult with their physician. Interesting.
I recommend to everyone who has some outdoor space to grow your own fruit. The reason fruit from the supermarket tastes “meh” is because it’s picked before it’s ripe, and the varieties grown commercially are developed to last on the shelf, not to taste good. A homegrown strawberry ripe off the plant and warm from the sun is one of the sweetest, most amazing things you’ll ever taste. A homegrown pineapple (I grow them in pots in NJ) is sweet like candy, not acidic and tongue-burning. Blueberries, when really ripe, are sweet, not tart. I know not everyone can grow their own food, which is too bad. It’s such a shame that our food system is so crummy that you have to do scientific experiments to make naturally sweet fruits taste better. :(
Excellent point! I'm not a gardener by any means, but I really look forward to the day when I can grow stuff in a garden. 😀 Also, it has been proven that the nutritional value is higher when just picked. 😀
Ya, I have a plum tree in my front yard and get 100-200lbs of plums all at once at the end of July. There are only so many plums my partner and I can eat. We also grow concord grapes, which are really delicious, but again the crop ripens all at once. There is only so much you can grow yourself, and I can’t grow pineapple, mangoes, or watermelon, or the dozens of other types of fruit I love. I live in Vancouver Canada, and find the seasonal fruit available in stores is really quite good.
Will it make a veggie burger taste like a quarter pounder from McDonald’s.
Cray ray is like Willy Wonka and he fruit wall. The blueberries taste like BLUEberries!!!
VERY COOL!!!
Shouldnt we eat seasonal fruit ? Who eats flavorless fruit in winter ?
I’ve eaten unprocessed miracle fruit.....it’s amazingly fun!!!
We just tried those tablets with sour candy and they didn't work at all. Guess we will try fruit next time.
‘Weird Fruit Explorer’ has an episode on this. He had the actual miracle berries.
I want to try the actual berries someday!!
Drugged tongues! Is Ray really Willy Wonka in disguise😜 Enjoyed this episode.
🤣🤣🤣 🤔
You're in Ray's kitchen? Cool!
Weird experiment.
For some reason, my gut says to stay far away from this. Dunno. I would need to do a lot more research because I am a WFPB'd type of gal.
I was curious also. So I went to the actual website for Miraland Berry, and the only ingredient in the tablet is 3 Miracle Berries. 🤷🏼♀️
I agree with you @KCallaAK. God gave us the different receptors for our own protection, just like a hot/ cold sensor. I don't like the idea of deliberately tricking my body to not function as it's supposed to.
@@christinescamihorn6609 its a bit of fun. harmless.
@@CastledarkDweller27 I'll be honest, I commented this a year ago. It's pretty far from my thoughts and can stay there.
Interesting video 🐱
I try my best to do McDougals eating plan but if I dare to eat FRUIT, sugar is sugar, I gain weight!! How do you all eat fruit and not gain?
fruit does not make u gain weight.
Are this a kid friendly channel?
Well, we don't cuss or talk about bad subjects on here if that is what you are asking. 😀
He is the Willie Wonka of fruit.
Well I do know this fact to be true. Pesticides is what makes fruit sour. Also of course picking at the wrong time. Which they do all the time obviously. One time I had some organic or grapefruit brought up from Florida. It had been picked a couple days earlier. I can’t even tell you. No need for any sweetener on it.
I have wanted to buy one of these plants for a long time. It was really nice hearing Ray break down what it is how it works. Because I’ve been kind of leery of the plant??? But I think I’m going to order one now!!!
Contrarian: I prefer to eat real fruit in season, so it’s at its peak. I don’t like supermarket fruit since it is bland-,grown for storage. I’m skeptical of a magic pill that makes bad food taste good.
It isn’t “bad” food. It’s just picked before being fully ripe before transporting. If you’re craving something sweet, this is much better than caving into chocolate, cookies, or cake.
Second experiment? Not social distancing? So American?
Sorry, can't get passed peeps reaching in with their FINGERS, putting food in their mouth, and then reaching back in. BIG FAT THUMBS DOWN! I would have put out forks...but that's just me! Brian's even licking his fingers and then going in for more. YUCK!
This episode annoyed me generally...and I was so grossed out by the finger and thumb licking.🤑
They're married. They eat after one another all the time.
Catdancer 76 oh gosh...for some reason I thought there were three people sitting there...my mistake
@@alwayswfpb lol... Nice one👌
Ray is right there, he is aware of how the Krocks are eating. If he has problem with Brian licking his fingers, he doesn't have to take any thing from the plate. They aren't hiding anything!
I’m confused ...no one is wearing masks???
Yes, we had quarantined for weeks before we went down and we quarantined after we got back. We made sure that the only people we were putting at risk were ourselves. And outside of Ray, we stayed away from people, wore masks, and cleaned our hands as much as possible.
What is even the point of this. Spending money in something artificial, for what? Fruit taste amazing without any enhancing...just stupid 🙄
Thank you for commenting! 😀 Miracle Fruit is actually a fruit. It comes from West Africa and is grown throughout many regions in the world. The pills we had were just a powdered version of the fruit. 😀 The cool thing about miracle fruit is that it doesn't actually add anything to the fruit. It just blocks your taste receptors from tasting sour flavors so you taste more of the natural sweetness in the fruits. 😀
It’s not artificial. Miracle fruit is a real fruit.
Oh for heavens sake.
what is the POINT?? Geez! It's an F WORD! It's called F~U~N!
I am disappointed that you're now trying to get us to buy stuff using your channel. Processed stuff at that.
Sorry if we made it seem that way Jessi! This is by no means meant to be a commercial... it was just supposed to be a goofy experiment. We always include links on the blog posts to products we use in each video in case people want to try them out too. Since we get a small commission from Amazon links, it’s a small way to help support the channel so we can keep making content to share, but we are very careful to let it be the viewers choice if they want to click. That is why you’ll notice I actually like to link to the products in the blog posts instead of directly on here, because I can present them in a way that better explains that on the blog. We put a lot of thought into everything we do and we do appreciate the feedback ❤️
@@KrocksInTheKitchen Thank you for going into this. I appreciate it.
