The berry which originates in Africa, has an active ingredient called "Miraculan" which coats the tongue and blocks out the sensations of sour, bitterness and acidic flavours.

Miracle Fruit Tablets are available in Canada and legal too. I bought mine from www.MiracleFruitExpress.com and they ship from Canada so you get them way faster instead of waiting 2 weeks. I love lemons with miracle fruit and you're right. Total mind F*ck when you try it the first time.
