I found this creeping plant in our compound somewhere in Ogun State, Nigeria; decided to let it be but not quite long I discovered it started fruiting so out of curiosity I engaged #Google Lens for research. Voila it gave me the name Passion Fruit aboriginal to South America and edible too!
Find below except from Google:
Passionfruit is a sweet and tart tropical fruit known for its purple or yellow rind, juicy seed-filled interior, and climbing vines. Native to South America, it is packed with fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C.
Types and Taste
Purple passionfruit (Passiflora edulis): Smaller, sweeter, and grows well in cooler areas.
Yellow passionfruit (forma flavicarpa): Larger, more tart, and thrives in warm tropical lowlands.
Flavor profile: A strong mix of sweet and sour with crunchy, edible seeds.
How to Eat and Use
Fresh: Cut the fruit in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds with a spoon.
Drinks: Strain the juice to use in smoothies, cocktails, or cordials.
Cooking: Add to yogurt, salads, or use as a topping for cakes and desserts.

From the picture right above this text, you can see the change in colour indicating it's readiness for harvest. I can't wait to share my experience with you guys after I have tasted the fruit. Who knows if my passion level will be given a boost
