'''Sweet granadilla''' (or sometimes called or spelled '''Grenadia''') is one common name for ''Passiflora ligularis''.<br />
<br />
The roundish [[fruit]] is orange/yellow colored with small light markings, growing to about 7cm. The outer shell is hard, with a soft padding on the interior. The seeds, which are hard and black, are surrounded by a gelatinous sphere of aromatic transparent pulp. The pulp is the edible part, and has a strong acidic taste.<br />
