A fruit vine rooted in tropical South America, with white blossoms and purple-based filaments. The fruit, though similar in most characteristics to the purple variant, bears a larger fruit with a brighter, yellow skin. Its pulp, a blend of sweet and tart, makes a delicious juice​ called maracuyá in Colombia where it is an export product. The fruit is at its best when yellow, wriggled and heavy. Photographed in the central Andes mountain range of Colombia (Cordillera Central).
