PASSION FRUIT |
|
|
Description |
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.
The pulp has an intense aromatic flavor, while the texture is jelly-like
and watery. The flavor is likened to guava.
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. In
Thailand Passion fruit season is all year round |
