The Ledidi Lemon Tek by Picking Fruits





If you're a Subscriber to this forum or follow our Instagram then chances are that you've heard of The Lemon Tek. If not, here's a quick rundown...





Step one, weigh out your mushrooms. Step two, grind your mushrooms. The third step is to add enough lemon or lime juice to cover your now-powdered mushrooms. Stir into a thick consistency then stick in the fridge for 3 hours. 3 agonizing hours later, consume.





The citric acid in the lemon juice will turn the psilocybin into psilocin, which your stomach acids would slowly do for you otherwise. This translates to ingesting psilocin that is already activated. You will begin to experience the effects within 20 minutes, more or less depending on body weight, an empty or full stomach, and how much you took. This is a heck of an improvement on the 45-60 minute (or longer) wait time that it takes to feel the first signs of a trip when eating whole, dried fruits. You would also notice the lack of the usual symptoms that many people experience while waiting for their trip to kick in, such as drowsiness.





The lemon tek just hits you. Bam. You're there.





It sounds like a fantastic time, to be sure. However, if any of you have actually tried the classic lemon tek, then you know that it's not the most pleasant experience of your life. I mean, it's fungus and sour juice. It's nice and cold, too.





Reader, here at Picking Fruits , we tend to stumble upon things that turn out to be game-changers, and we love sharing about it. For example, the Ledidi Berry produced by Nature's Wild Berry. This small, adorable and delicious little berry is going to change how many people ingest their mushrooms.









Scientifically named Synsepalum dulcificum , this fascinating berry is a native of West Africa and not commonly found in stores in the U.S. There is some controversy behind what this berry does , and after I explain its effects on the human taste buds, you'll understand why.





Actually, I'll let Livestrong.Com explain it to you...(or just scroll a little)





"The primary side effect of miracle berries are the main reason people go out of their way to eat them - they make everything consumed taste sweet for hours. The active ingredient in the Miracle Berry, miraculin, is a protein that binds to the taste buds in the mouth, temporarily altering their function. It does not change the properties of the foods but affects how the taste buds react to those foods. Scientists don't precisely understand the science behind this, but they do know that miraculin's effect overrides the body's natural response to send signals to the brain indicating when a food is sour, and instead sends signals indicating that it is sweet."





Basically, it turns sour into sweet.





After 5-10 minutes of chewing on the berry, pop something sour, or really anything, into your mouth and have your mind blown. This simple and unassuming little berry literally changes what you taste without adding a single additional ingredient to your food. Let's think about the implications behind that for a moment. I personally experienced the transformation of straight lemon juice into sweet, lovely lemonade just by swishing this berry around my mouth for a few minutes. No need for sugar or honey or processed agave... nothing. Just putting this slightly-sweet little piece of nature in your mouth will be a pleasant enough experience on its own. When the berry is soft enough, you just swallow it. No crazy side effects or addiction to highly processed and refined products.

I'm sure that by now you understand why the F.D.A. doesn't allow the Ledidi Berry to be marketed as a sweetener, claiming that the berry could be a danger to people who might consume large amounts of substances that they otherwise wouldn't; for example, spicy foods, aspirin, or vinegar. Many would argue that this point isn't a good enough reason not to promote the Ledidi Berry , a natural miracle berry , as a better and healthier alternative to our current sweetener lineup in the grocery stores.





But, I digress. As much as the politics behind the Ledidi Berry are something to talk about on their own, what we really want to do is share with you what a lovely and tasteful experience we had when we popped a couple of berries into our mouths, nibbled on them for a little while, and drank our lemon tek shots. Because we weren't afraid of the sour that would normally be coming our way, we were able to add as much lemon juice as we wanted to dilute the concoction. It was delicious, sweet, and just a little mind-twisting that something my brain logically knows is not sweet tastes like it has an ounce of sugar in it. It tasted like the best lemonade you can get over the counter that you wouldn't let your kids drink. We loved it. It was a wonderful way to start what turned into an amazing, mind-altering night.





Although the Lemon Tek is as old as time, I know that we were incredibly surprised to find out that something as fascinating as the Ledidi Berry even existed. To mix both of these exotic pleasures is something that everyone deserves to try.





Oh, and also try straight cherries. The Ledidi makes each cherry taste like Cherry Ice Cream. Yum.





That being said, here is the link to Nature's Wild Berry's Online Store.





We are incredibly lucky to have been introduced to these by a friend who had also enjoyed them and wanted to share this berry with the world. Therefore, on behalf of all the myco-nauts out there, I personally reached out to the team at Nature's Wild Berry and told them that I had plans to write an article featuring their wonderful product and also asked for permission to refer any curious readers to their store. Of course, I didn't tell them exactly what the article was about. :) Not only did the team reply with enthusiasm, but they let me know that they have created a special PickingFruits Promo-code for our readers that will give them a 10% Off Discount on their Ledidi Berry Orders!





Most aren't excited for the taste of these... but they love their effects









We're so excited to share with you this PickingFruits Promo-Code and 100% vouch for the folks growing the miracle berry. So, shoot on over to their site and try this out. I'm not exaggerating the mind-tingle that you'll get from these berries. It made me feel like a child again, experiencing something that was making me "Ooo" and "Aaa" at the wonders of Nature. Thank us later, friends.





We hope you'll share this article with other curious minds and help bring attention to the fun and healthy sweetener alternative that Nature's Wild Berries are making available to people everywhere. And don't forget to type in PickingFruits at your checkout!
