  • Their jelly-like pulp has a sweet-sharp lemony flavor and contains clusters of small edible seeds
  • Rich in vitamin C and fiber (if you eat the seeds)

Selecting

A wrinkled passion fruit is a ripe passion fruit! Choose fruits that are also firm and heavy.

Storing

Eating

Just cut it in half, enjoy the fruity fragrance and spoon out the soft flesh. Fresh passion fruit is also delicious with ice cream, cakes and other desserts.
