True to its name, passion fruit, its flowers, and its vines, have inspired researchers around the world to delve into the special properties of this delicious fruit.
Originally cultivated by the Aztecs, who prepared drinks from the fruit, Passiflora was introduced to Europe in 1629 by Spanish Jesuit missionaries in Brazil. The Passiflora genus is estimated to have more than 500 species, most producing fruits that are consumed and used in medicine and industrial processing.
