Passion fruit nutritional benefits

The dull purple exterior of the passion fruit gives no indication of the delicious sweet yellow pulp contained within. It is generally recommended to consume a minimal of five portions of fruit and vegetables each day, and the passion fruit is a great choice, high in fibre, vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium.

The sweet yellow pulp can be added to fruit juices, used in deserts, or simply eaten alone. The fruit’s pulp contains several seeds which are editable and are a good source of fibre. The fruit has always been a staple food for animals and people who live within the rainforests of southern America. The fruit and its juice are noted for their use as a natural remedy for several health conditions among indigenous tribes.

Passion fruit is grown in many counties, such as South Africa, Australia, Peru, Israel, Brazil and New Zealand.
