I tried an extract of this as a kid. Maybe I’ll try growing it again.

I'm a huge fan of sour beer. My favourite brewery released a beer last year, each bottle with a small ziplock bag elastic band-tied to the neck containing a dehyderated "miracle berry" (the full name referenced in the first sentence of that Wiki article: "Synsepalum dulcificum"). You can get them for around a dollar (Canadian) each on amazon. It was an awesome gimmick. The different in taste of a sour beer, as with many foods, before the berry and a couple of minutes after chewing/swallowing it is night and day. I bought as many as I could, it is such a cool experience. I've heard anecdotes that it makes even vinegar palatable.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to take it regularly though. I never would have considered it as a tool to reduce sugar intake, I can imagine it working for some, though.
