So...what would YOU do with 5 ripe passion fruit?

Tests have shown that passion fruit juice has a slight sedative effect as a result of the combination of glycosides and flavonoids present.

Both the juice and the flowers of the plant have been used in remedies to treat anxiety and high blood pressure.

According to Antonio Bernardes' A Pocket Book of Brazilian Herbs:

"2 glasses of juice will naturally calm down the most hyperactive child, and for this reason it is highly valued by Brazilian mothers."
