It's very possible that digesting the fruit isn't even necessary, the act of eating is likely the trigger. I mean, it's not like some oddly magical protein configuration is turning you into lightning. It's the magic mojo. Probably, you could bite one, spit it all out cos it tastes like dirt and stil-

If they're normal fruits originally, then it's the power that makes them taste so bad? Hmm... why d'ya suppose that is?
