Preparation & storage
Storage
Unripe giant granadillas continue to ripen at room temperature (20°) if humidity is high. At higher temperatures, ripening is too fast.
The fruit is best stored in a plastic bag, even at room temperature.
They will keep for at least 2 weeks, although they will shrivel.
Preparing
Halve the fruit and spoon it out. Unlike other types of passion fruit, you can also eat the pericarp.
Storage times
Fruit bowl (room temperature): 2 weeks
