Passion fruits, from the Passifloraceae family, species Passiflora edulis, are native to South America. They grow on vigorous climbing vines with broad, glossy leaves 7-15 cm long. The round to oval fruits have thick purple or yellow rinds and juicy, aromatic pulp with edible seeds. Passion fruits are a great source of vitamin A and C, fiber, and antioxidants promoting digestion and skin health. The pulp is eaten fresh, used in juices, desserts, or sauces. Store unripe fruits at room temperature and refrigerate once ripe.
