                                Native to South America, the passion fruit's name comes from its flower's resemblance to the 'Passion of Christ' to Spanish missionaries, not for romantic reasons. Today, what is passion fruit known for most prominently is its uniquely balanced, tropical flavor and its rich nutrient profile, including high levels of antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins.
