Fruit
Fruit bowl
The fruit gets its name from the passion flower that is said to symbolise the passion of Christ. The "yellow passion fruit" is also called maracuja. The leathery skin of this fruit is hard and smooth. The skin is not edible. Inside is soft yellow flesh with edible seeds. The flesh has a fresh sweet taste.
Preparation & storage
Storage
You can store passion fruit 2 to 3 days outside the fridge (at about 12-15°C), the passion fruit will ripen through. This advice applies to a passion fruit that is not yet very ripe.
How do I know if the passion fruit is no longer good? The passion fruit is discoloured or mouldy. You can quickly recognise this decay by looking or smelling.
Preparation
Cut the fruit in half and scoop it out. You cannot eat the dark purple skin, but you can eat the seeds.
You can eat the fruit out of hand, but you can also process it further in, for example, salads.
