Passion Fruit

Passion fruit is one of the most popular fruits in Spain. It is made up of passionate flowers. It appeared in Europe for the first time in 1553. Its name has many different transcription versions, including “Passionfruit” or “Passion-fruit”. A purple fruit called a passion fruit breaks open to reveal crunchy seeds encased in a yellow, delicious pulp. This tropical fruit is noted for having one of the strongest scents of any fruit, but it is also packed with health advantages that make it a great addition to your diet.

Passion fruit offers a large source of fiber when eaten with seeds. The pulp and seeds from one cup of passion fruit have 24.5 grams of fiber in them, which is more than 4 cups of bran cereal. Additionally, passion fruit is a great source of vitamin C, which supports a healthy immune system, and vitamin A, which improves vision, prevents infections and maintains good skin. Passion fruit can be prepared in a wide variety of ways, but is popular as an ingredient in smoothies or juices and a great flavor additive to yogurt, salsas, salads, and desserts. When eating it plain, slice it in half, and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and fruit.
