General Description

Originating from the West Indies, Brazil and Mexico. Passionfruit are nearly spherical with a tough, smooth, dark-purple, waxy skin, sometimes with fine white specks and is the most common variety. The pulp is light yellow to pumpkin coloured and has many small, black seeds. The inside wall is a bright pink-purple with darker purple specks. The flavour is refreshing, guava like and tangy. Eaten by spooning directly from the shell, the pulp can be used on Pavlovas, cheesecakes, fruit flans and icings. Choose fruit that are dark, smooth, firm and heavy for their size.
