A ripe
passionfruit and the cross-section of another. Passionfruits are the
fruit of the
passion flower vine species
Passiflora edulis, which is native to
Brazil and northeastern
Argentina, but is now
cultivated commercially in
frost-free areas in many countries for its fruit. Passionfruit comes in two varieties: purple (seen here), which is usually smaller than a
lemon, and yellow, which is about the size of a
grapefruit.
