The granadilla is a vine whose fruit is widely consumed under the name "Passion Fruit". This vigorous climber (several tens of meters in good conditions) is not the most cold-resistant passionflower.

The fruit of Passiflora Edulis is the one commonly found in markets as "Passion Fruit". Depending on the variety, the fruits are yellow or purple. The yellow fruits are generally transformed into juice while the purple fruits are rather eaten fresh or in sorbets. In this recipe it is of course purple.
