Passion fruit, 1 pc.

NOTE: After harvesting, the passion fruit shrinks. However, this is not a sign of spoilage, but a sign of ripening. The fruit becomes fuller and sweeter in taste. Passion fruits can usually be stored in the refrigerator for 2 weeks after purchase.

There are 400 species of the genus Passiflora, some of which produce magically beautiful flowers. The fruits of the different species vary in size, round, oval, in color yellowish, wine red, purple violet to dark brown. The wrinkled-skinned fruit has a large core, which contains a white to yellowish, jelly-like mass in addition to countless blackish seeds. The passion fruit tastes refreshingly sweet and sour and has a distinctly exotic aroma.

Origin

The home of the different types of passion fruit (including granadilla and maracuja) are the countries of Central and South America. Apart from there, cultivation takes place mainly in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, California and Hawaii. Passion fruits are mainly offered here in the country in early summer and summer. The rest of the year, fruits from Kenya and South America come to us.

Preparation

For raw consumption, the fruits are halved and the pulp is spooned out. The seeds are eaten with it. Passion fruits are also used in fruit salads, ice cream, quark dishes, pudding and other desserts. 

For a refreshing juice, the pulp of 3 passion fruits is put into a blender with 300ml of water. Mixed briefly, the pulp dissolves from the seeds. The juice is then sieved to finally separate the seeds from the aromatic yellow juice. Put the juice back in the blender and season with a tablespoon of sugar.
