Fresh fruit vine

The name "passion fruit" is believed to originate from Spanish missionaries in South America who thought the flower's intricate structure resembled religious symbols. The central part of the flower, called the "corona," was thought to represent the crown of thorns, while the radiating petals symbolized the apostles. The vine's tendrils were seen as a reminder of the whips used during the Passion of Christ. This association with religious symbolism led to the name "passion flower" and eventually "passion fruit" for the fruit produced by the vine. So, every time you enjoy the delicious flavor of Red Passion Fruit, you're not just savoring a tropical delicacy but also a piece of botanical history with ties to religious imagery.
