National Passion Fruit Day
August 9, 2025-August 9, 2025 -
Argentina, Brazil, South America
Originating in subtropical South America, passion fruit is believed to have been part of the native diet in areas of Brazil and Argentina.
The name seems to have originated from the Spanish missionaries who called it the “flower of the five wounds” as a nod to the crucifixion of Christ, which is where the name passion fruit comes from.
Depending on the location where it is grown, passion fruit can be in season for most of the year. In Hawaii, it has a year-round growing season while California brings fresh passion fruit crops from January to November. That means that August is a great time to celebrate National Passion Fruit Day!
National Passion Fruit Day was founded with the purpose of drawing attention to and raising awareness about this food that is not only delicious but also brings a number of nutritional benefits along with it.
