Also known as Vine Orange in Sinhala and Passion Fruit in English, this is a very sweet fruit. When ripe, the yellow leather ball-like fruit absorbs the yellow slime-like substance and can be used to make a delicious drink with or without the removal of black seeds. Although our ancestors called the vine orange a tropical fruit, it is a very tasty drink when prepared with sugar, lime and salt.
Not only in the dry and wet zones of Sri Lanka but also in all parts of the country, the leaves of the lush orange vine can be eaten in the form of mallow. Flowers with ornamental pollen also add beauty to the environment.
