Description
This exotic beauty is the white lilikoi flower. It is also known as a passion fruit flower and is one of the varieties of passiflora edulus. The plant is a vine, which is one of the fastest growing plants on earth, sometimes growing 20 feet or more a year. The flowers last only a single day and can have a wonderful, sweet fragrance. The round fruit that is produced is one of the most delicious in the world (in my opinon!). The interior of the fruit is filled with a viscous pulp, loaded with small black seeds that can be eaten. The flavor is like no other, but has a citrus-like quality. The fruit is a high source of vitamin C. The first time I saw a liliko'i flower I could not believe it was real (on Maui many years ago on my first trip to the Islands). The first time I ate one, they became an instant passionate obcession! I grow three different edible varities in my yard and wait the rippening of the fruit with great anticipation. Some varities of passiflora are native to portions of the Southern United States, but most edible varieties found in Hawai'i are from South America. They were brought to Hawai'i in the 1920's much to all our pleasure who live here and were given the name Liliko'i. The name comes from the first area they were cultivated on Maui, Liliko'i Valley. The word liliko'i in hawaiian is said to mean passionate, gifted, kind, sweet, or loving.
