Passion Fruit

This fruit traditionally comes from Brazil, Paraguay, and Northern Argentina, though it is now being grown in Australia, parts of America, Kenya, and South Africa. The most popular passion fruit is the purple one, but there is also a variety that is yellow in color. Though it is extremely sour, it is rich in Vitamin A and C.

It is also a great source of potassium and iron. The seeds are full of fiber. It is a very versatile fruit and can be eaten as it is or with yogurt and ice cream. You can also prepare some delectable desserts.
