Pleasantly sweet and tart, Passion fruit, also known as granadilla, is brimming with many plant-derived nourishing essentials offering optimum health. Passions are native to subtropical wild regions of South America, probably originated in Paraguay. It is an avid climber (vine) which grows on anything that it can grapple around through its tendrils.The passiflora plant requires well-drained fertile soil and good moisture to flourish. Once established, it grows quickly and reaches about 15-20 feet per year. The plant has an average lifespan of about 5-7 years. Over five hundred cultivar types of passions exist; however, only two main types, purple and yellow varieties, are widely grown. Banana passionfruit (P. tripartita var. mollissima), known locally as curuba de castilla, features small banana-like shape with rounded ends. During each season, the vine bears greenish-white fragrant flowers which subsequently develop into fruits.
