Passion Fruit

Passion fruit, also known as passionfruit or granadilla, is a tropical fruit originally from South America, now widely grown across tropical and subtropical regions. The fruit has a firm purple or yellow skin and inside contains aromatic, juicy pulp with edible seeds. The flavour is intensely sweet-sour with a distinctively exotic aroma. It is used in fruit salads, smoothies, juices, desserts, sorbets and yoghurts. The juice makes an excellent ingredient in cocktails, dressings or marinades. Passion fruit is a source of vitamin C, vitamin A and dietary fibre. In the kitchen, simply cut the fruit in half and scoop out the contents with a spoon.
