The name passionflower would lead one to automatically associate it with love and passion, but in folklore the plant has more been associated with calm and peace, only in recent history has it been associated with passion in the romantic sense. sourced:http://www.herbsociety.org.uk/hom-passionflower.htm
The orange, egg-shaped fruit of Passiflora incarnata is edible, although it is not as tasty raw as the purple fruiting variety Passiflora edulis, sold in shops and supermarkets. The purple passion fruit has a wonderfully fragrant pineapple-orangey scent and makes refreshing fruit sorbet and drinks, either on its own or when added to other fruits such as the mango. Passion fruit can be made into jams, chutneys, syrups, jellies and puree, which makes an excellent filling for cakes. It is also a good source of vitamins A and C, and potassium.
