A Brief History
This tendril-bearing vine produces beautiful flowers with a unique floral structure that ripen into the fleshy and seed-filled Passionfruit. With more than 550 species, Passionflower is commonly found in Mexico, Central and South America, though some species grow in tropical regions of the United States, Europe, Asia and Africa. The whole plant is used to make herbal medicine, but Native Americans have traditionally used the leaves and roots to make a sedative tea.
