Passion fruit, also known as "Passion Fruit" is an intriguing and mysterious fruit that has a surprising number of health benefits for fruit lovers that add it to their diet.

These benefits include passion fruit's ability to prevent cancerous growth, improve digestive power, boost immune function, improve vision and skin health, regulate fluid balance in the body, lower blood pressure, increase circulation, and improve bone mineral density. In addition, it reduces the signs of premature aging, reduces inflammation, improves sleep habits and eliminates asthma.

Passion fruit grows in a climbing way, wrapping itself on every surface in search of sunlight. There are more than 500 varieties of this fruit, and its appearance varies widely. In terms of color, passion fruit is usually yellow or dark purple and looks a bit like a grapefruit. The interior is filled with a firm, juicy flesh and an abundance of seeds. The fruit is regularly squeezed for highly beneficial juice, and is often seen added to other juices to enhance flavor and add an exotic taste.

It is a very used food for breakfast, such as juice, snacks and additive to season sauce, salad and dessert.

Compared to fresh fruit, dehydrated fruit loses water and concentrates fiber, sugars and minerals, thus becoming a nutritious, satiating and not excessively caloric snack. It is a product prepared from fresh fruit, peeled, cut and subjected to dehydration by hot air.

Passion fruit: Properties and Benefits

That long list of health benefits commonly attributed to passion fruit is due to the nutrient, mineral, and vitamin content of the fruit, which includes antioxidants, flavonoids, vitamin A, vitamin C, riboflavin, niacin, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, fiber, and protein. The percentages of many vitamins and minerals are incredibly high, and passion fruit is a great addition to the diet that can lead to a number of incredible health benefits.

• Increases immunity

Since ancient times, passion fruit has been cultivated thanks to the strong idea that provides a boost to the immune system. It was however unknown to most people until modern times that this immune-strengthening property was due to the presence of vitamin C, carotene and cryptoxanthin. In fact, a single serving of passion fruit (100 grams) provides about 30 mg of vitamin C. All of these vitamins act as antioxidants, which eliminate free radicals from the body and neutralize them before they can damage organ systems and result in conditions such as cancer, heart disease or premature aging. In addition, vitamin C stimulates the activity of white blood cells and the rest of the immune defense system, thus protecting you from common diseases and serious diseases at the same time.

• Prevents cancer

Passion fruit is also a powerful source for boosting anticarcinogenic activity in the body. The antioxidants in passion fruit primarily eliminate free radicals, which are known to transform the DNA of healthy cells into cancerous cells.

• Rich in vitamin A

In addition to its protective qualities for cancer, vitamin A is also linked to eye health benefits, including the prevention of macular degeneration, cataracts and night blindness. In addition, a high antioxidant content of passion fruit is useful for reducing wrinkles and promotes the proper functioning of membranes throughout the body, including the skin, to keep it hydrated and radiant!

• Reduces blood pressure

If you take a portion of passion fruit every day, you immediately meet 1/4 of your potassium requirement. Potassium is a vital mineral in the human body for a number of reasons, one of which is its role as a vasodilator. It relaxes the tension of blood vessels and promotes increased blood flow. This reduces the strain on the heart and increases cardiovascular health in general. In addition, potassium is necessary to maintain the proper fluid balance of the body's cells. Movement between membranes is often allowed only through potassium-regulated channels, so adequate amounts of this mineral are of utmost importance. 

• Improves circulation

When combined with the vasodilation properties of potassium, the high iron and copper content of passion fruit can really have an impact. Iron and copper are both essential components of red blood cell production. Once the red blood cell count increases and the vessels are dilated, healthy, oxygenated blood can flow freely into the necessary areas of the body, stimulating metabolic activity in all organ systems and increasing productivity and efficiency. A healthy blood flow is essential for proper functioning!
