Curious about passion fruit?  It’s delicious and packed with nutrition!!

Here are 7 reasons to give it a try:

  1. Passion Fruit helps you lose weight!: There are only about 50 calories in one passion fruit, making it an ideal weight-loss food if you substitute it for other foods.
  2. It’s a great source of fiber. Passion fruit is almost one-third fiber, which helps lower cholesterol levels, regulate your blood sugar levels, and clean out your colon.
  3. It’s a rich source of antioxidants. Antioxidants protect your body from free radicals, unstable molecules that can damage your cells when they are present in large numbers. In particular, it’s a rich source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, and polyphenols.
  4. Passion fruit has been shown to have antifungal properties.
  5. Passion fruit seed fiber is effective in improving intestinal function and health and may help reduce cholesterol.
  6. The purple passion fruit extract has been shown to reduce anxiety-related behaviors in laboratory rats without disrupting the memory process.
  7. A preliminary screen of 1,220 Brazilian rainforest plant extracts from 352 plants found that passion-flower plant family extracts were among the few that demonstrated cytotoxicity against human prostate cancer cells.

The flesh and seeds of purple passion fruit are edible, but the skin should not be consumed since it contains a small amount of cyanogenic glycosides (a source of cyanide).
