One sunny day, I walked through a wild bushland. Tiny leaves intertwined, grass spread out, and through it all, I found a small miracle: the wild passion fruit. It was tiny, round, and protected by a sheath of fine thorns that made it look mysterious and exotic.
When I looked closer, I was fascinated. This little thing was not only beautiful, but also full of benefits. It turns out that this wild passion fruit is rich in antioxidants, which can help protect the body from the harmful effects of free radicals and keep skin healthy. There are also vitamins A and C in it, good for eye health and immunity.
What makes it even more special is that this fruit grows wild in nature, far from pesticides and chemicals, so it tastes more natural and pure. The taste is also unique sweet with a hint of fresh sourness that makes anyone who tastes it want to enjoy it again. Even the seeds and flesh of this small fruit contain fiber that can help keep digestion smooth.
At that moment I smiled, realizing how incredibly small this fruit was. Hidden behind the bushes, the forest passion fruit carries the message that nature always gives us surprises and benefits, as long as we are willing to stop for a moment, pay attention, and appreciate it.

I also often find this fruit in my garden, when it is ripe it can also be eaten.
That's right, I've eaten it too
