Although not sweet itself this miraculous fruit, consumed fresh and allowed to coat the mouth alters your tastebuds so that everything you eat for around 30 minutes afterwards tastes sweet. Attractive potted plant.
Native to Indonesia but widely grown worldwide as a backyard shrub for its aromatic leaves that add a unique flavour to Thai cooking. Well suited to container growing. The rough bumpy fruit is inedible but its oil has strong insecticidal properties.
