Generalities Passiflora Edulis plant:

The Passiflora Edulis is a climbing plant for mild climates, vigorous and with more or less jagged deciduous foliage that needs a support on which the plants are fixed thanks to the vines that develop along the stems. It has a bluish white bloom and from the 1st year it produces fruits, edible and very fragrant (used for pastry and sorbets). The fruit, more than for the very soft and rich flesh of small seeds, is appreciated for its intense and characteristic aroma, for which it is used in the production of juices, ice creams and other preparations for food use. For this purpose, passiflora edulis is grown in different tropical and subtropical regions around the world. As well as for ornamental purposes, Passiflora Edulis is also cultivated for its precious and tasty fruits. Numerous liqueurs and alcoholic drinks are made from its gelatinous and perfumed pulp. The juice obtained from the pulp of the maracuja is used in addition to many drinks and cocktails, thanks to its unmistakable aroma and taste. Many food preparations are also made with this precious berry: jams, sauces and desserts are just some of its uses in the kitchen, for the creation of dishes rich in Vitamin C, iron, carotenoids, mineral salts and potassium. Another curiosity concerning the plant is linked to its name. It seems that the term Passiflora derives from the Latin Passio (Passion) and Flos (flower). Discovered for the first time by the Jesuits in 1610, the Passiflora Edulis was so called because of the particular shape of its flowers, which remind the pistils of the nails of the passion of Jesus, and the crown of thorns in the rays. The tendrils also seem to evoke the whip of the scourging.
