Passion fruit, scientifically known as Passiflora edulis, is also known as egg fruit, passion fruit, and granadilla. It is known as passion fruit because of its nutritious juice, fragrant smell, and the aroma of many fruits such as guava, mango, banana, etc. Passion fruit originates from the tropical rainforests along the Amazon River in South America. Because the shape of its flower resembles the cross of Christ, it was once believed by Spanish explorers and missionaries to be the "miracle fruit" eaten by the first human ancestors Adam and Eve mentioned in the Bible. Therefore, its English name is "passion fruit", which means "fruit of enthusiasm, passion and love." Passion fruit is native to Brazil and is now widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions.
