PASSION FRUIT - A RICH SOURCE OF FIBER, ANTIOXIDANTS, AND VITAMIN C.

I found this creeping plant in our compound somewhere in Ogun State, Nigeria; decided to let it be but not quite long I discovered it started fruiting so out of curiosity I engaged #Google Lens for research. Voila it gave me the name Passion Fruit aboriginal to South America and edible too!
