Fruit & Spice Park

This guide to Fruit & Spice Park in Miami centers on miracle fruit, a small red berry that briefly flips every sour taste into sweet, and Iva Hegg, a guest-services worker who has spent years handing it to people who've lost their sense of taste. You'll also hear how the park began in the 1930s, when a Redland farmer's daughter named Mary Heinlein dreamed of growing every strange fruit in one place. Look for the berry among the park's five hundred varieties.
