What is this food?
Stinking passion flower juice (a fruit juice made from passion fruit). It’s a light, sweet-tangy drink with some carbohydrates and a small amount of fiber.
Why it matters to health
This juice provides quick energy from carbohydrates (11.8g per 100g) and a little dietary fiber (0.2g), which can help with regular digestion when you balance it with whole foods. It’s also low in fat (0.6g) and has very low sodium (5mg) and no cholesterol. Since it’s still a juice, it can be easier to drink more than you intend—so it’s best to pair it with meals or choose smaller portions, especially if you’re watching sugar intake.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a snack drink or as part of your snack plate (e.g., with nuts, yogurt, or fruit) rather than as a replacement for water.
- Keep portions small (for example, a few tablespoons to 1 small glass) and avoid sweetened versions.
- Prefer whole fruit when possible for more fiber and fullness.
- Balance your day: with 3 full meals and 1–2 snacks, reserve juice for one snack and make the other snack more filling (e.g., boiled egg, peanuts, or yogurt).
