Parcha / Passion Fruit/ Maracuya

(Passiflora Edulis - var. flavicarpa )

Parcha flower just before it bears fruit

 

This vine, native to the Amazon, produces beautiful flowers and sweet-tart fruit. It was named by the Spanish missionaries in South America who saw the Passion (suffering) of Christ represented in its flowers. Passion fruit is widely grown throughout the tropics and subtropics. Its common name in Latin America, where it is native, is maracuya and in the Caribbean, Parcha. The fruit is produced on a woody vine from bisexual flowers. The fruit is somewhat tart, has a hard purple or yellow rind, and contains many black seeds. Passion fruit is commonly used in beverages. It is usually propagated via seed. There are many species of Passionflower with the most common found in the Amazon region being Passiflora edulis.
