    <content:encoded><![CDATA[There are no firmly established <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruit+dehydration" rel="tag">fruit dehydration</a> techniques because the variables change from case to case. This article will go over some basic guidelines for dehydrating your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruits" rel="tag">fruits</a>. The temperatures and cook times will very from oven to oven. Follow these basic guidelines but start with a small amount of fruit at first. Starting out with a small amount of fruit will help you test out what techniques work best for you. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/solar+drying" rel="tag">Solar drying</a> is a very popular way to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dry+fruit" rel="tag">dry fruit</a>. Solar drying is very simple but if largely depends on the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/weather" rel="tag">weather</a>. In order to practice solar drying the temperature outside should be above 95 degrees. Next the humidity must be very low. When you have these two factors in your favor you can dry your fruit outside. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/drying+fruit" rel="tag">Drying fruit</a> in a oven is a much more common technique. The temperatures I am about to give depend on many factors, like your oven power and what fruits you are drying. Remember you are not cooking the fruit but drying it. Your oven's temperature should be around 150 to 160 degrees to evaporate moisture quickly. As soon as the outside of the fruit begins to feel dry the temperature should be dropped around 20 to 30 degrees. If you do not dry the fruit properly it will burn or the outside will dry too fast, trapping the moisture inside. <br /><br /> Rapid dehydration is what you are aiming for. When drying fruit outside remember humid airs slows down evaporation. Also you do not want to heat the fruit, let it cool, and reheat it. Doing this will cause bacteria and fungus. If you let the fruit cool before it is completely dry, you are better off throwing it away. Drying fruit takes time and effort. Do not expect to get it right on the first time. If you have never dried fruit before I suggest trying it first because the taste does differ from fresh fruit. Drying fruits cuts down on the levels of Vitamin A and Vitamin C. Fruit dehydration techniques vary so it is best to find what works best for you and stick with it.  <bio>Fruit Dehydration Techniques was written by Eric Fields. <a href="http://www.acaiplus.com/index.asp?site=moneymaker23" >http://www.acaiplus.com/index.asp?site=moneymaker23</a> This article may be reprinted provided no part thereof is edited in any way and this resource box is included. </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ he <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mangosteen+tree" rel="tag">Mangosteen tree</a>s are a tall, pyramid-shaped tree that originated from South East Asia. The Mangosteen <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/trees" rel="tag">trees</a> are grown in Asia, Africa, India and some areas in Central and South America. The trees are very sensitive to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cold+weather" rel="tag">cold weather</a> and anything below 45 degrees Fahrenheit will kill these trees. <br /><br /> The Mangosteen trees are very difficult to grow because these trees like lots of humidity and rain, but do not like the soil to be too wet. The trees do not like higher elevations, salt air, cold weather, and sandy or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/silt+soil" rel="tag">silt soil</a>. They do like to grow in Asia and Africa, below 200 degrees latitude, then rain forest conditions, the way from the coast and in rich <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/loamy+soil" rel="tag">loamy soil</a>. <br /><br /> The Mangosteen tree starts to produce when they are about ten years old. The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mangosteen+fruit" rel="tag">Mangosteen fruit</a> are small (1-3 inches) and purple. The top of the fruit has a small Rosette-shaped blossom remnant with 4 to 8 the triangular segments. <br /><br /> The Mangosteen fruits have two parts to them; a white center fruit and a purple outer hull. The White center part of the fruit is divided into different segments. There's one segment for each triangle in the blossom remnant. The white part of the fruit it is well known for its flavor and some people feel that this fruit is one of the most delicious fruits in the world. <br /><br /> The outer part of the Mangosteen fruit this thick and purple. It does contain bitter latex and the purple juice itself it is a permanent dye. The Mangosteen fruit has over 40 different xanthones and the outer rind it is one of the richest sources of sxanthones in the world. <br /><br /> Where Can I Buy The Mangosteen Fruit? <br /><br /> You can purchase them Mangosteen fruit wherever it is grown. It can be a challenge to purchase the Mangosteen fruit locally because the food itself it is very picky about its shipping conditions. <br /><br /> Probably the best way to enjoy the benefits of the Mangosteen fruit is to drink it as a juice. Drinking the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mangosteen+juice" rel="tag">mangosteen juice</a> maybe even healthier then eating the whole fruit by itself because the juice is made from the whole fruit. <br /><br /> Try going to your local health food store and ask them if they carry Mangosteen juice. Another way to purchase some Mangosteen fruit juice it is to look for some independent distributors. Go online and do search for Mangosteen juice and you will find lots of local distributors within your area.   <bio>Kerry Ng is a successful Webmaster and publisher of The Mangosteen Blog.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruit+basket" rel="tag">Fruit basket</a>s are labeled as traditional gifts bordering on the generic. Wondering what to give for a baby shower? Why not a fruit basket? How about for a graduation? A fruit basket! For a granted divorce party? A fruit basket! Although the fruit baskets look and taste good, the generic tag diminishes their value. This is one of the downfalls of being an easy gift to give. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fortunately" rel="tag">Fortunately</a>, makers of more fruit baskets recognize these problems and have taken some tasty actions. More fruit baskets are being sold in more varieties and with tastier components. <br /><br /> These days, more fruit baskets are designed with focus on the variety of the fruits. Tropical fruits like mangoes and pineapples find themselves mixed in with cold weather fruits like apples. This mixing provides contrast, which makes the fruit baskets more interesting. Some fruit basket designers go the other way by using a single fruit for their baskets. For example, berry basket uses different types of berries, ranging from the popular strawberries to the exotic gooseberries. <br /><br /> Adding blooms and cut flowers to fruit basket arrangements boost the look and value of the gift. Fruit baskets have used this trick in the past but only as accents. This trick evolved to another popular trend, which mixes floral arrangements with fruit baskets. No longer an accent, more fruit baskets sport amazing floral arrangements. A berry basket filled with blueberries looks beautiful with a bouquet of blue <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hydrangeas" rel="tag">hydrangeas</a>. Likewise, pale pink roses provide great contrast to a basket of Granny Smiths. <br /><br /> Fruits are great taken with a variety of other <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/good+eats" rel="tag">good eats</a>. Nuts are good examples of these good eats. Remember trail mixes, those little packets with nuts, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dried+fruits" rel="tag">dried fruits</a>, and raisins? Think of nuts and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruits+baskets" rel="tag">fruits baskets</a> as fresh trail mixes. In addition to being crunchy and crisp, these trail mixes in a basket are a lot juicier, too. More fruit baskets are also fond of displaying fruit in a variety of ways: fresh, dried, cooked, or preserved. Current fruit baskets include boxes of crystallized pineapples and dried apricots in their baskets. Others content themselves with jars of preserves, marmalades, jellies, and jams. <br /><br /> More fruit baskets are also going gourmet. It is not uncommon to see fruit baskets packaged with bottles of wine, champagne, and designer chocolates. Cheeses are also great accompaniments to fruits. Good Italian cheeses like smoked and fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola, ricotta, mascarpone, or parmesan find their way inside fruit baskets. Other baskets sport authentic gourmet meats and sauces. Salami, pancetta, and prosciutto are usually accompanied by Italian sauces in gourmet fruit baskets. With the different varieties of fruit baskets sold today, it is a tough decision to just choose one. Fortunately, manufacturers decided to come up with more fruit baskets containing a bit of each mix-in. The result? Highly specialized and very delicious fruit baskets anybody would be glad to receive.  <bio>For more valuable information on more fruit baskets, please visit <a href="http://www.fruitgiftbasket.net" >http://www.fruitgiftbasket.net</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The majority of any studies done with the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mangosteen+fruit" rel="tag">mangosteen fruit</a> to date have been done in a lab. There is minimal work that has been done with people that can indicate the exact benefits someone will receive from taking a daily mangosteen supplement. How ever while it isn't proven scientifically there are numerous people that praise the benefits of the fruit in prevention therapy for different forms of cancer and other environment illnesses. <br /><br /> The majority of studies focus on the pericarp of the fruit. The dark and woody <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/rind" rel="tag">rind</a> portion, rather then the white tasty fruit inside. The reason that this is the point of focus is simple, that's where the majority of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/xanthones" rel="tag">Xanthones</a> reside. While the fruit itself surely has some healthy benefits, they haven't been studied to the extent of the rind. <br /><br /> Mangosteen Supplement Information <br /><br /> Those who take a mangosteen supplement generally take it for holistic medical purposes, the best ones being made from the peel, pulp, and hull of the fruit. Ideally a liquid mangosteen supplement is taken once per day in a 30ml to 90ml dose taken through the day rather than all at once. <br /><br /> The better mangosteen supplements don't contain any sweeteners, preservatives, or stabilizing agents. Reason for this is those chemicals can have a negative effect on the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/beneficial+effects" rel="tag">beneficial effects</a> the mangosteen has. <br /><br /> A more popular mangosteen supplement is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mangoxan" rel="tag">Mangoxan</a>, it gets it's name from the mangosteen and the primary antioxidant in the fruit known as Xanthones. The supplement is made from the entire <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruit+puree" rel="tag">fruit puree</a>, along with some other fruits that are high in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/antioxidants" rel="tag">antioxidants</a>. The Xanthones are found to be most concentrated in the peel, and hull of the fruit. <br /><br /> Mangoxan is a wonderfully tasty juice, that hold extraordinary benefits as a supplement. The whole mangosteen puree mixed along with the other fruits high in antioxidants offers a vast array of health benefits. This juice is different then anything else available on the market. The xanthones combined with a cocktail of other antioxidants provides amazing health benefits. If you're searching for a quality mangosteen supplement don't look any further then Mangoxan.  <bio>For more information on the benefits of using a mangosteen supplement take a little time to visit our website on <a href="http://www.mangosteen-and-goji.com" >http://www.mangosteen-and-goji.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Most of the people know only one thing about <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruit+salads" rel="tag">fruit salads</a>; and that is how to eat them. How could you eat something that you know nothing about? Well, aside from the fact that they are delicious? <br /><br /> A fruit salad is a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/delicious+dish" rel="tag">delicious dish</a> with different kinds of fruit, sometimes served submerged in their own fruit juice, or lathered with syrup. It is oftenly served as an appetizer, if not that, dessert. Eitherway, fruit salads are definitely delicious, you can have them for both appetizer and dessert. <br /><br /> Making your own fruit salad is not hard; you just need to prepare its ingredients. And the ingredients used are neither extinct nor hard to find, you can just whip out your wallet and make the march to the nearest grocery store. <br /><br /> It needs one pint of basket of fresh <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/california+strawberries" rel="tag">California strawberries</a>, which you are supposed to stem and make into halves; a teaspoon of finely chopped fresh mint or a half teaspoon of dried mint; a half cup of light sour cream; lettuce leaves; a half teaspoon of honey; two cups of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fresh+fruits" rel="tag">fresh fruits</a> that are in season. See? These ingredients do not require you to go hiking up in the mountains, looking for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/exotic+fruits" rel="tag">exotic fruits</a>. <br /><br /> For you to make a strawberry dressing, you must puree an ample amount of the strawberries in an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/electric+bender" rel="tag">electric bender</a>, about a half-cup, to make a =BC cup of pureed strawberries. In a separate bowl, stir the puree, together with mint and honey, into a sour cream so that they will all blend. In assembling your fruit salad, line individual salad plates that contain lettuce. Arrange the strawberries that you have reserved with the other fruits on the lettuce and top with the strawberry dressing. Sounds good, huh? You could bet that this tastes even better. <br /><br /> Yes, you now know how to make a fruit salad after knowing the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/necessary+ingredients" rel="tag">necessary ingredients</a>. But still, do you know where fruit salads came from? This is added knowledge, thus, it would be best if you keep this pieces of information in your memory. <br /><br /> The origin of fruit salads relies highly on what you initially mean by "fruit salad". Fruit salads that are made up of combinations of different fresh, dried, candied or sugared, and stewed fruits or vegetables. This type of fruit salad originated from the ancient times. The ingredients and the recipes that are used depended on what were available in the country, or if what ingredients were in season. They also depend on the socio-cultural attitudes of the people toward the ingredients, whether the fruits were socially considered to be healthy or not. <br /><br /> The fruit salad, as we know of it today, is a production of the mid-nineteenth century. There has been unearthed culinary evidence that confirms the saying that sometimes, fruits salads are purposely mixed with sugar and alcohol, thus, given the term "fruit cocktail". The non-alcoholic variation of this recipe, also the jellied fruit salad, was famous in the 1920s. In the period of the World War II, fruit salads were introduced to the world as a proper supplement of Vitamin C, and were, in fact, included in the American diet. <br /><br /> However, fruit salads in the European countries evolved quite differently. The recipes contained amounts of mayonnaise. Have you heard, or better yet, eaten a Waldorf salad? Well, this is the name of the said fruit salad that is lathered with mayonnaise. <br /><br /> Now is the time when you can say that you know everything you need to know that concerns fruit salads. Fruit salads contain one hundred twenty-three calories, two grams of protein, eleven milligrams of cholesterol, four grams of fat, and twenty-one grams of carbohydrates.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/charmed" rel="tag">Charmed</a> by the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/thoughtfulness" rel="tag">thoughtfulness</a> of the giver, most people won't admit that they have a dozen <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruit+baskets" rel="tag">fruit baskets</a> stacked on the kitchen table. With smile and a deep sigh, most resign themselves to the fact that the contents of the fruit baskets will disappear soon enough. But as luck would have it, it's been almost a week and the only fruits consumed are the bananas and the apples. For unlucky homemakers who are faced with this problem, there is a solution. Cook the fruits and recycle the baskets. <br /><br /> I emphasized cooking because by now, every person in your house had probably consumed his share of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruit+salad" rel="tag">fruit salad</a>. It's not just fair to ask them to eat another bowl. Most likely, the fruits left in the fruit baskets are the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tropical+fruits" rel="tag">tropical fruits</a> which are popular but difficult to prepare (pity those fruits don't look good canned). <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pineapples" rel="tag">Pineapples</a>, watermelon, and pears are the usual remnants of the salad mania. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fortunately" rel="tag">Fortunately</a>, these new takes on fruit are all very easy and simple to prepare. <br /><br /> In the tropics, they have a fancy way of cutting pineapples where the locals cut around the andquot;eyesandquot; of the pineapples, making fancy-looking groves around the fruit. However, since it is time-consuming, peeling the fruit by slicing away the hard skin is acceptable. Slice the fruit in chunks and boil them in simple syrup with a bit of crushed ginger and orange juice. Stew the fruit until the syrup has evaporated completely or thickened slightly. This is good as it is but better when served cold as ice cream topping. If you received a seafood platter with your fruit baskets, this is also a good base for a tropical take on shrimps. <br /><br /> Watermelons are mostly made of water and are good sources of fluids. But its grainy texture is not appealing because it leaves a sandy feel in the mouth. A simple trick to make these fruit baskets survivors into a delicious treat is to make it into a smoothie. Pray to God that you got a watermelon with no seeds. Scoop the pulp into a blender and add crushed ice, sugar, and milk. Adding in some berries and a scoop of ice cream seals the deal. Pears seem lowly compared to red apples but believe it or not, top chefs consider pears as fruits for special occasions. They are worthy substitutes for apples in pies or tarts, giving the desserts new character. For variety, try poaching the pears in simple syrup with some lemon zest or orange rinds. These are good served as it is or paired with a generous serving of vanilla-flavored ice cream. <br /><br /> Try these simple tricks to sweeten these remnants from the fruit baskets. But if you can't bear to eat another bite of fruit, prepare these sweet treats and put them in pretty jars. Put the jars in fruit baskets and send them to friends with thank you notes.  <bio>For more valuable information on more fruit baskets, please visit <a href="http://www.fruitgiftbasket.net" >http://www.fruitgiftbasket.net</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The process of making wine requires using fruit, mainly grapes, but for some, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruit+wine" rel="tag">fruit wine</a> can branch out to other fruits in order to add variety to their hobby. Depending on your own <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/personal+tastes" rel="tag">personal tastes</a>, fruit wine can be made from other fruits such as apples, pears, cherries, or even some <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/wild+berries" rel="tag">wild berries</a>. Although the process of fruit wine making may be foreign to you, there are many resources available to help aid you in the process of making your very own fruit wine. The Internet is a helpful resource in the wine making process where many different recipes for wine are available as well as steps to begin your very own fruit wine making process. <br /><br /> If you have made wine in the past or even if you are trying the process for the very first time, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/homemade+wine" rel="tag">homemade wine</a> is a tradition that is held dear in many families. Although the process can seem very complicated and tedious at first, but once you understand the 5 basic steps, it will become very clear and even seem easy to you and you too will be hooked on making your very own fruit wine. <br /><br /> Harvesting or picking the fruit of your choice is the first step to making your very own wine. For many in the past, harvesting was done by hand out in the field, while today, many machines are able to harvest a greater amount of fruit in the same amount of time or even faster. No matter which method you choose, it will be the start of a great wine making journey and may become a tradition for you and your family. <br /><br /> The next step for making wine is the crushing and pressing process. Again, today there are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mechanical+devices" rel="tag">mechanical devices</a> that have the ability to crush grapes or other fruits as needed. Some still prefer to do this step by hand, but you will find that the amount of time it takes to press your fruit will depend on the method that you choose. <br /><br /> Fermentation is the magical process of fruit wine making where the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/natural+sugars" rel="tag">natural sugars</a> in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruit+juices" rel="tag">fruit juices</a> will turn to alcohol with the help of wild yeast from the air or being added manually. This process is handled quite differently in some wineries and vineyards, regardless of how it is completed; this step is essential for your wine journey to be successful. <br /><br /> The next step is the clarification process that entails filtration and refining of the wine after it has completed the fermentation stage. You will be using filters in order to remove all peels and any other large solids from the wine and refining will add substances to the wine in order to clarify it. <br /><br /> Aging and bottling is the final stage in your homemade wine making process. This step is at your own personal preference. Here you can bottle the wine immediately, let it age in ceramic or stainless steel tanks, or even sit in the bottles themselves to age. There is not one set way to complete the wine making process, but with a few basic steps, you will be well on your way to devising your very own system to creating a flavorful and desirable wine for you and all your friends and family to enjoy.   <bio>Find the latest information on making wine visit <a href="http://fruitwinemaking.net" >http://fruitwinemaking.net</a> as well as <a href="http://fruitwinemaking.net/The_Home_Wine_Making_Process.html" >http://fruitwinemaking.net/The_Home_Wine_Making_Process.html</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Although there is no actual evidence that <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mangosteen+juice" rel="tag">mangosteen juice</a> is effective as a treatment for cancer, there have been studies done that show that mangosteen juice is incredibly rich in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/antioxidants" rel="tag">antioxidants</a>. In fact, there have been early research studies done that show it may have promise to help relieve acne, and early small studies in the lab and on rats show that further research should be done in order to find out if it can in fact help with cancer prevention in humans. <br /><br /> It is important to understand at least the basics about mangosteen juice, so that you can truly understand the plentiful benefits that are available in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mangosteen+fruit" rel="tag">mangosteen fruit</a>. Such mangosteen juice info includes things like the available nutrients, how the juice is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/beneficial" rel="tag">beneficial</a>, and where the mangosteen fruit derives from. In all actuality, mangosteen juice is a tropical juice beverage that is made by the liquefying of the seeds, rind and flesh of the mangosteen fruit. All mangosteen juice info should also include the fact of what the mangosteen fruit actually is. Mangosteen is a fruit that is about the size of an apple, with an incredibly thick rind and an interior snow-white colored fruit. <br /><br /> No studies have been able to prove that drinking mangosteen juice on a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/daily+basis" rel="tag">daily basis</a> would offer any significant improvement in illness. However, research does show that increasing one's dosage of mangosteen has been proven to boost your absorption of vitamins, therefore strengthening your overall immunity. <br /><br /> Mangosteen juice has been used for centuries as a folk remedy, especially in places around the fruit's native countries, such as Thailand. The mangosteen fruit has been widely acclaimed of having the qualities of an anti-histamine, anti-aging ointment, antibiotic, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory. Besides this, it has been shown to help certain medical issues, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, immune deficiency, and even <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fibromyalgia" rel="tag">fibromyalgia</a>. <br /><br /> Mangosteen extract has also been generally accepted as being useful in the treatment of arthritis, acid dyspepsia, moderate asthma, otitis externa and eczema. It is considered to be at least as effective and helpful as most pharmacological agents, and diabetics especially are increasingly in favor of its use. Many diabetic users report the use of mangosteen has decreasing their need for insulin dramatically. Thus, the mangosteen is a fruit with some potentially amazing health benefits.   <bio>Kerry Ng is a successful Webmaster and publisher of The Mangosteen Blog.

By choosing the right ingredients, a smoothie can be a great way to cleanse and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/detoxify+your+body" rel="tag">detoxify your body</a>. This can help your health generally, but can also be good for conditions like acne. <br /><br /> 2. Smoothies give you a real energy boost, not a fake caffeine kick. <br /><br /> 3. They are quick and easy to prepare and are very mobile -- you can take them with you in the care and drink them on your way to work or while you <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/run+errands" rel="tag">run errands</a>. <br /><br /> 4. Fruit is packed with goodness, but it can be a real chore to eat as much of it as we should. So by drinking our fruit in a smoothie, we can consume plenty, and do it quickly. <br /><br /> 5. Kids really like them. It is a great way to give your kids nutritious <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruits+and+vegetables" rel="tag">fruits and vegetables</a> that taste really good.

If the fruit you plan to use is large, like watermelon, it may be best to chop it into smaller pieces before putting it in the freezer. Freeze the fruit on a plate or piece of aluminum foil, so the pieces don't stick together, and then transfer them to a clean container in the freezer for later use. <br /><br /> Remember, too, that you can put vegetables in your smoothie mix as well, there's no law that says it can only be made from fruit!

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/miracle+fruit" rel="tag">Miracle Fruit</a> Berry contains a harmless glycoprotein which temporarily gently binds to the tongue's taste buds, causing bitter and sour foods (such as lemons and limes) consumed later to taste sweet. It can also be used to prepare <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sugar+free+desserts" rel="tag">sugar free desserts</a>.<br><br>The Miracle Fruit Plant (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a plant first documented in 1725 during an excursion to its native West Africa. Local tribes picked the berry from shrubs and chewed it before meals. Miracle Fruit berries contain a harmless active glycoprotein which temporarily gently binds to the tongue's taste buds, causing bitter and sour foods, such as lemons and rhubarb, consumed after eating miracle fruit, to taste sweet. It is extremely simple to use: just chew the fruit or dissolve one "tablet" on your tongue and the effect will last from 10 minutes to 2 hours, depending mostly on what you eat. When the effect wears off, everything tastes as before (lemons are sour again).<br><br>Miracle fruit is safe and has no known side effects (well, lemons taste sweet!). It has been used for centuries (in Africa) and for decades in the US and Asia. Miracle Fruit is available as fresh fruits or freeze dried extract which can be stored for a much longer period of time. Miracle Fruit berries can be chewed before eating sour fruit (grapefruit, pomelo, pineapple, strawberries and similar) or used in combination with special recipes to make sugar free desserts. The desserts can be made without sugar and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/artificial+sweeteners" rel="tag">artificial sweeteners</a>, pure freshly squeezed <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/natural+fruit+juices" rel="tag">natural fruit juices</a> are more than enough to make any dessert extremely sweet. Besides desserts, Miracle Fruit can also be used to prepare sugar <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/free+cocktails" rel="tag">free cocktails</a>, 100% natural lemonades and other <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/delicious+drinks" rel="tag">delicious drinks</a>. Innovative chefs like Ian Kleinman of Westin, Colorado, are using Miracle Fruit powder and tablets to make innovative foods like Miracle Fruit gum and miracle fruit popsicles.<br><br>Miracle Fruit first caught attention of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/party+goers" rel="tag">party goers</a>. Numerous Miracle Fruit parties have been organized worldwide, some of which received wide media coverage in newspapers like New York Times and The Guardian. Foods served at a typical Miracle Fruit Party include all sorts of citrus fruits, dark chocolate, wine, beer, cocktails, and essential fresh strawberries, kiwi and rhubarb. Miracle Fruit can also improve the taste after chemotherapy. Results are inconclusive but it seems to work in around 50% of all cases. It also has endless possibilities as a sugar substitute for diabetes patients. They can finally enjoy in desserts without sugar and controversial artificial sweeteners, some of which have been rumored to cause health problems.<br><br>In Japan, Miracle Fruit tablets have been on sale since 2006. Miracle Fruit Café's, serving sugar free desserts and Miracle Fruit berries have become very popular in Japan in the past two years. Tablets are of medicinal quality and produced in a pharmaceutical clean room. They contain no artificial additives (such as colorants or preservatives).<br><br>Miracle Fruit is also known as Synsepalum dulcificum, Frutto dei miracoli, Fruta maravillosa, Fruto milagro, Fruta de milagro, Frutamilagrosa, Sideroxylon dulcificum, Mirakelfrukten, Mirakelfrukt, Mirakelbær, Mirakelbaer, Wunderbeere, Mirakelbes and Le Fruit Miraculeux.<bio><a href="http://www.miraclefruitworld.com/">MiracleFruitWorld</a> was the first authorized distributor of Miracle Fruit products outside Asia. A constantly updated list of fruits, sugar free drinks and sugar free recipes is available at <a href="http://www.miraclefruitworld.com/">Miracle Fruit World</a> (International), <a href="http://www.wunderbeere.com/">Wunderbeere</a> (German speaking)and <a href="http://www.fruta-milagrosa.com/">Fruta Milagrosa</a> (Spanish) sites.</bio>]]></content:encoded>
