The Passionfruit is a pepo, a type of berry, round to oval, either yellow or dark purple at maturity, with a soft to firm, juicy interior filled with numerous seeds. This small pinkish-purple variety is sweet with a touch of sour.
It's ripe/ready to eat when the shell becomes wrinkly all over! If you enjoy a more sour flavor you will want to open the fruit when the skin is smooth, but for a sweeter flavor open them when wrinkly. Passionfruit is both eaten and juiced; passion fruit juice is often added to other fruit juices to enhance aroma. Add passionfruit to your favorite smoothie or spread on top of some papaya for an ultimate combination
