passion flower
General Description: Also known as “passion flower” or “grenadilla”, passionflower is a plant with sedative properties, used to combat anxiety, nervousness and sleep disorders.
Passionflower (passiflora incarnata) is a climbing perennial plant which belongs to the Passifloraceae family. It is native to South America, and grows in regions with warm and tropical climates (Asia, Australia and Africa).
Passionflower was discovered during the 16th century by Spanish missionaries in Peru . The plant was named by the Jesuits “Passiflora” (from the Latin passio and flor – literally “passion flower”) because of the specific appearance of the liana flower considered “Christ-like” . The latter brings together all the elements of the crucifixion of Christ and the Passion of Christ: the crown of thorns, the 3 nails, the whip, the hammer and the 5 wounds
The plant is also famous as "grenadilla" because its fruit resembles a miniature pomegranate.
Passionflower has purple and white colored flowers, which are harvested during flowering. In these flowers, there is an edible fruit of yellow and green colors, with a sweet and tangy taste. This fruit is often used in certain cocktails, sorbets, fruit juices, or even to make jam.
