It's Autumn, Ignore the not so attractive Australian Sweet Lime, ripened off the tree, but check out the Miracle Fruit berries. Miracle Fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) so called for its ability to make sour fruit taste sweet after chewing.
I almost missed this first crop of berries on our 2m bush.
Why pay $50 for the dried fruit in capsule form when you can grow your own in a food forest.

"How does the miracle fruit work?
Answer: The miracle berry (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a small red fruit
that contains a glycoprotein (Miraculin) that coats the taste buds and
temporarily alters their shape. This causes your taste receptors to
interpret certain flavors (mostly sour ones) far sweeter." Wikipedia
