About Passion Fruit
Southern Bahia - Brazil
🌱 Passion Fruit: The Fruit that Delights Palates and Boosts Industries
Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a tropical fruit native to South America, with a strong presence in Brazil, especially in the Northeast and Southeast regions. With a striking aroma and acidic and refreshing flavor, it is widely used in the food, beverage and cosmetics industries.
In Brazil, yellow passion fruit is the most cultivated type, known for its high pulp yield and balanced acidity — ideal characteristics for industrial production.
🌿 Nutritional Characteristics of Passion Fruit
In addition to its unmistakable flavor, passion fruit is valued for its high nutritional value. Check out its main nutrients:
- Rich in vitamin C – antioxidant action and strengthening of the immune system
- Source of fiber – contributes to good intestinal function
- Contains potassium and magnesium – important minerals for cardiovascular health
- Bioactive compounds – such as flavonoids and alkaloids, with calming properties
💡 Frozen pulp preserves the main nutrients, offering a practical and safe solution for industrial applications.
🌿 When is the Passion Fruit Harvest in Southern Bahia?
The South of Bahia stands out as one of the most important passion fruit producing regions in Brazil, thanks to the hot and humid climate throughout almost the entire year.

- Off-season: from April to June
