Getting it’s name from the flowering part of the plant used to illustrate the passion of Jesus, this lovely fruit comes in yellow and purple varieties. They come from ye olde south hemisphere (please note, the south hemisphere is likely to be no older than the rest of the world, but it is old!)
Purple ones tend to have a more intense smell and flavour, contain less acid and are smaller than their yellow fellow!
Storage
As with most tropical fruits, in a fruit bowl away from heat and sunlight or in the fridge.
Preparation
Cut in half and scoop out contents, don’t eat the skin, it is slightly toxic but nothing to horrific.
Handy Tips
- Use passion fruit as an aroma enhancer, it smells nice along with citrus and tropical fruits!
- Try using passion fruit juice instead of adding passion fruit straight into the smoothie maker.
- Some say that after eating the passion fruit you’ll fall in love with the person you next look at- be very careful! I looked at Ian…
