Can you say GIANT
Lilikoi?!?! This beauty was picked fresh from the vine in the Kauai Farmacy Gardens this morning for my little ones to enjoy. Giant granadilla, a.k.a Giant
Lilikoi or Giant Passion fruit is packed with Vit A, B3, C, Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron, Protein, Carbohydrates, & is high in dietary fiber. Inside the rind lies clear/pink-tinted, sweet, gelatinous, pulpy, grayish seeds. Refreshing & Yummy! This over-sized passion fruit contains a compound called passiflorine and has been used for centuries for reducing anxiety, acting as a sedative, reversing hypertension, relieving pain, and combating insomnia. We use the passion flower along with Valerian, another potent herbal inducer of drowsiness, in our
Tranquility tea because of the incredible calming attributes on the nervous system. Our
Tranquility tea: A delicious medium-bodied, calming infusion for general muscle relaxation and balancing the nervous system, can be found at www.KauaiFarmacy.com
