Passion fruit is a less popular but highly beneficial fruit. Recently, the DG of NAFDAC, Dr. Paul Orhii advised the Benue people to plant, so many people in the villages have planted this tree. I decided to do a research and to my amazement, found out the many health benefits of the fruit.

Passion fruit is an intriguing and mysterious fruit that has a surprising number of health and medicinal benefits for those fruit lovers who add it to their diet. Some of these benefits include passion fruit’s ability to prevent cancerous growth, stimulate digestion, boost immune function, improve eyesight, increase skin health, regulate fluid balance in the body, lower blood pressure, boost circulation, and improve bone mineral density. Furthermore, it reduces signs of premature aging, lessens inflammation, improves sleeping habits, and eliminates asthma.

Health Benefits of Passion Fruit


For Eye & Vision
I was talking about the passion fruit with an elder who testified that the day he first ate or anytime he eats the passion fruit and sleeps, he would wake up to see much debris from his eyes. This he says clears his vision. Upon research, I found out that it contains huge amounts of vitamin A more than M.O.R.I.N.G.A! See picture below

Immune System: Since ancient times, passion fruit has been cultivated and enjoyed because of the boost to the immune system that it seemed to provide. Although this was unknown to most people until modern times, this immune strengthening property was due to the presence of vitamin C, carotene, and cryptoxanthin.

Cancer Prevention: In a related note to the immune system health, passion fruit is also a powerful source of anti-carcinogenic activity in the body. Antioxidants in passion fruit primarily eliminate free radicals, which are known for mutating the DNA of healthy cells into cancerous ones.

Digestive Health: Passion fruits are a very strong source of fiber, and a single serving provides the human body with approximately 98% of its daily requirement. Fiber is an essential component of a health diet, since it is the substance that facilitates healthy digestion of food and the regulation of bowel movements.

Others include
Blood Pressure
Improved Circulation
Insomnia, i.e. sleeplessness
Respiratory Conditions and Asthma
And many more...
It is eaten like you eat apple, you can also make juices/smoothies with it.
