About Passion Fruit

Passion fruit is a tropical fruit with a unique sweet-tart flavor and aromatic pulp filled with edible seeds.

Preparation Tips

To eat passion fruit, cut it in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds with a spoon. The entire pulp, including the crunchy seeds, is edible. Passion fruit is ripe when the skin is wrinkled and the fruit feels heavy. The pulp can be eaten fresh, added to smoothies, yogurt, or desserts, or used to make juice and sauces. Store unripe passion fruit at room temperature until wrinkled, then refrigerate for up to a week. The pulp can also be frozen for later use.
