To 1 tbsp. dried herb (include stems) add 1 cup boiling water steep for 10 min. drink at bedtime for restlessness and insomnia, or during the day to calm anxiety.
The flowers can add a tasty and decorative touch to salads, or used to make a syrup. The fruit can be eaten raw or made into jams, jellies, or wine. Our native Passion flower fruit is most commonly called Wild Apricot, and is not the tropical Passionflower which yields Purple Passion Fruit. It is smaller than the Purple Passion Fruit but can be used in recipes that call for the tropical variety. The seeds may contain a minute amount of cyanide like properties, and one should not eat them in large amounts - just to be on the safe side.
