Passiflora edulis La grenadille, fruit de la passion (Passiflora edulis), est une plante grimpante de la famille des Passifloraceae, originaire de Colombie [1], du Venezuela, du Paraguay, du Brésil et du nord-est de l'Argentine. Elle tire son nom des divers éléments de sa fleur faisant allusion aux instruments de la Passion du Christ ; elle est cultivée pour ses fruits à pulpe comestible nommés fruits de la passion ou maracudja (mot créole[2] venant du tupi « mara kuya »). En Nouvelle-Calédonie, ils sont appelés « pomme-lianes » ; au Venezuela « parchita » ; à Porto Rico « parcha » ; à Haïti « grenadia », et au Brésil « maracujá »[Note 1]. Comme pour la vigne, la culture se fait sur des échalas et des fils de fer, dans les régions chaudes (correspondant à la zone de l'oranger). Il existe une centaine de variétés[3], dont la Common Purple, cultivée à Hawaï, la Black Knight, la Edgehill, cultivar aux fruits pourpres semblable à la Black Knight mais encore plus vigoureux et très planté en Californie, la Kahuna, la Perfecta (aux gros fruits) ou la Brazilian Golden.

Encyclopedic overview

Passiflora edulis, commonly known as passion fruit, is a vine species of passion flower native to southern Brazil, through Paraguay, and northern Argentina. The fruit is a pepo, a type of botanical berry, round to oval, either yellow or dark purple at maturity, with a soft to firm, juicy interior filled with numerous seeds.

The plant is cultivated commercially in tropical and subtropical areas for its sweet, seedy fruit. This is both eaten and juiced, with the juice often added to other fruit juices to enhance aroma.
