What's with the sweet fruit on CSI:NY?
I am a very picky eater and something like that could help me go on a diet.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In the 70s, there were diet pills made of the berries. Today, there are a lot of 'flavor tripping' parties surrounding the fruit.
As for where you can buy them, lots of tropical nurseries have the plants readily available. Here is one place you can buy the entire plant:

This site has an excellent list of where the plants and even tablets can be purchased:

according the the wikipedia page, the reason you've never heard of it is because the sugar industry doesn't want you to. Sounds like a 100 MPG carburetor story to me!

"The miracle fruit, Synsepalum dulcificum, is native to West Africa and has been known to Westerners since the 18th century. The cause of the reaction is a protein called miraculin, which binds with the taste buds and acts as a sweetness inducer when it comes in contact with acids, according to a scientist who has studied the fruit, Linda Bartoshuk at the University of Florida’s Center for Smell and Taste. Dr. Bartoshuk said she did not know of any dangers associated with eating miracle fruit."
You can buy it on the internet
