It’s also rich in beneficial plant compounds, including carotenoids and polyphenols.

In fact, one analysis found that passion fruit was richer in polyphenols than many other tropical fruits, including banana, lychee, mango, papaya and pineapple (2).

Additionally, passion fruit contains a small amount of iron.

Your body doesn’t usually absorb iron from plants very well. However, the iron in passion fruit comes with a lot of vitamin C, which is known to enhance iron’s absorption
