Yellow Passion Fruit (500g)

Description

The benefits of Yellow Passion Fruit

1. Passion fruit contains about 50% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, with proven properties in protecting against free radicals that are produced due to increased pollution and oxidative stress;
2. The vitamin A and flavonoid content present in passion fruit are good allies in protecting against mouth and lung cancer;
3. With considerable amounts of iron, passion fruit is a good option for those with anemia. This is because the vitamin C present in this fruit helps increase iron absorption;
4. Due to passion fruit's high potassium and low sodium content, it is a highly effective food in protecting against high blood pressure;
5. Passion fruit is high in fiber, especially soluble fiber. This fiber improves intestinal transit and digestion.
6. Recent studies indicate that the combination of extracts from passion fruit peel can have an expectorant, sedative and calming effect on the respiratory system;
7. Both the passion fruit and flower contain medicinal alkaloids and phytonutrients known to have mild sedative properties. Ingestion has been shown to help relax the nervous system and induce sleep.
