Passion Fruit
Why Eat It
An egg-shaped tropical fruit that is also called a
purple granadilla, the passion fruit has a brittle, wrinkled
purple-brown rind enclosing flesh-covered seeds, something like a
pomegranate (granadilla means "little pomegranate" in Spanish). The
seeds are edible so you can eat the orange pulp straight from the
shell. Passion fruit is more commonly sieved and its highly aromatic
pulp and juice are used as a flavoring for beverages and sauces.
Native to Brazil, passion fruits are grown in
Hawaii, Florida, and California. These crops, along with imports
from New Zealand, keep passion fruit on the market all year. Choose
large, heavy fruits. If the skin is not deeply wrinkled, keep the
fruit at room temperature until it is; the leathery rind, however,
will not soften much. Ripe passion fruit can be refrigerated for a
few days.
