Passion Fruit

Passion Fruit

Indulge in a refreshing passion fruit, imported from Columbia.

Passion fruits range in color from purple to purplish-brown. Inside, you'll find a yellow-orange, jelly-like pulp with numerous black seeds. The flavor is sweet and tangy.

After harvesting, passion fruits will shrivel. However, this is not a sign of spoilage, but rather a sign of ripening: the fruit is becoming fuller and sweeter in flavor.

There are 400 species of passion fruit in the genus Passiflora, some of which produce showy flowers. The fruits of different species vary in size, shape, and color: round, oval, yellow, crimson, purple to dark brown.

Central and South American countries are home to different passion fruit species. Cultivation takes place mainly in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, California, and Hawaii.

Uses

Passion fruit is best enjoyed fresh. Eat the seeds along with the pulp and juice.

Passion fruit is also used in fruit salads, ice cream, cheese dishes, puddings, and other desserts.

Our tip: the sweet and sour taste and special aroma make passion fruit an ingredient that can transform an ordinary dessert into a special experience.

Storage

Passion fruit can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
