a tidbit from the latest issue of "Fruit Gardener" magazine, Sept/Oct 1998
issue, 30(5): 23, the article "Rediscovering Thaumatococcus danielli" by
Micheal Witty.

The West African (tropical) fruit Thaumatococcus danielli, has a unique
sweet taste:

"Some seconds after tasting, an intense sweetness develops and persists
for many minutes, during which the taste and aroma of other foods
are enhanced in quality and seem more delicious".

The taste is described as "unique and amazing".

An interesting side point here is that the sweetness in this fruit comes
from a protein - and proteins are usually tasteless.

P.S. "Fruit Gardener" is published by California Rare Fruit Growers,
