A tropical fruit-bearing plant native to South America, also called banana passion fruit, with elongated yellow fruits.
From indigenous Tupi or Colombian languages spoken in the Andes. The name describes a climbing vine plant cultivated for its edible fruits.
The curuba fruit looks like a tiny golden banana but tastes like passion fruit, and it grows only in high-altitude Andean regions—so it's super specialized to its mountain home!
