So a friend of mine had a heap of Passionfruits from her vine and asked me to make a slice to use a few of them up. After reading up on this fruit it was amazing to see how many health benefits this beautiful sweet fruit contains. Passionfruit are a great source of vitamin C which aids in the body delevoping resistance against flu-like infections. Also eating the whole passionfruit including the seeds are also a great way of getting your fibre intake and aids in digestion. Research has also shown that it is high in antioxidants which is great in elimating free radicals which are known for mutating the DNA of healthy cells into cancerous ones. I love how plant food benefit our bodies so much!
