Passiflora edulis
Pot diameter:15cm, Height:50cm
Also known as 'passion fruit', it is a climbing plant that produces distinctive edible fruits.
The fruit can be eaten on its own or juiced and added to other fruit juices to increase their flavour. It has a peculiar sweet and sour taste and contains the antioxidants cyanidin, quercetin and edulilic acid. Quercetin has anti-inflammatory properties and reduces asthmatic symptoms.
Passion Fruit contains calcium, iron, niacin (vitamin B3), riboflavin (vitamin B2), sodium, vitamins A and C, beta-carotene and fibre. They have antimicrobial and antipyretic properties and lower cholesterol due to the plant sterols they contain. They are considered cardioprotective because of their abundant flavonoids. They are a very good source of antioxidants. They have a tonic effect while calming the body and facilitating sleep.
