The giant granadilla, barbadine (Trinidad), giant tumbo or badea ((:baˈðe.a)), ටං ටිං ((: tʌŋ tʌIŋ)), ''Passiflora quadrangularis'', produces the largest fruit any species within the genus ''Passiflora''. It is a perennial native to the Neotropics, having smooth, cordate, ovate or acuminate leaves; petioles bearing from 4 to 6 glands; an emetic and narcotic root; scented flowers; and a large, oblong fruit, containing numerous seeds, embedded in a subacid edible pulp. The badea is sometimes grown in greenhouses. The fruits of several other species of Passiflora are eaten. ''P. laurifolia'' is the water lemon and ''P. maliformis'' the sweet calabash of the West Indies. The fruit juice of the badea is used as a beverage. A tea is made from the leaves which is used for high blood pressure and diabetes. A drink and ice-cream are made from the fruit.〔Mendes (1986), p. 10.〕 ==See also== *''Passiflora maliformis'' (Sweet calabash) *''Passiflora laurifolia'' (Water lemon) *''Passiflora foetida'' (Wild water lemon or Stinking passion flower) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「giant granadilla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
