The fruits and young shoots are edible. Fruits tastes sweeter than the ordinary passion fruit.

Some Interesting information from Wikipedia,

"foetida" means "stinking" in Latin for the strong aroma emitted by damaged foliage. The fruits, are edible.

P. foetida is able to trap insects on its bracts, which exude a sticky substance that also contains digestive enzymes. This minimizes predation on young flowers and fruits. Whether or not it gains nourishment from its prey is uncertain, and it is currently considered a protocarnivorous plant. This passion flower tolerates arid ground, but favours wet areas. It is known to be an invasive species in some areas.

Passion Fruits & Passion Flowers

This plant is grown for its beautiful, mesmerizing fragrance. It smells like sweet roses but it made me think of the scent from the Lily of the Valley talc. I have never forgotten its beautiful captivating scent since the first time I stepped into The Secret Garden of 1-Utama. A strong perfume from the flowers fills the air.

My post about this flower is here and here.

Additional notes:

For many years, the misapplied name of Passiflora coccinea Aubl. has been used worldwide (in books as well as exhibit and nursery labels) for this species in cultivation. Passiflora coccinea was described by Aublet in 1775 based on a species originating from French Guiana. In 2006, John Vanderplank proved that the Scarlet Passion Flower widely found in cultivation was of a different species due to the different characteristics. He documented the horticultural species as Passiflora miniata.

The ephithet "miniata" is derived from the Latin word "miniatus" meaning scarlet-red.

In the tropics, it is every-flowering. In temperate countries, it flowers from summer to autumn.

It has no fragrance and seldom produces fruits in Malaysia. If well taken care of, it grows rapidly and produces many flowers non-stop. There are a few at The Secret Garden of 1-Utama where Dr. Francis SP Ng planted it on a huge gazebo and flower buds appear on almost every leaf axil. I am growing mine in a medium sized flower pot to be trained to trail on my front wall fencing. At Chung Lim Nursery, they train it up a gazebo swing.
