Passion Fruit Pro Tips
Passion Fruit will arrive ripe and ready to eat. Its ripeness can be determined by personal preference: smoother skin for a more sour flavor, or wrinkly and soft for a sweeter taste. Enjoy it by slicing open and scooping out the pulp, seeds and all. The seeds are edible and add a pleasant crunch. For a refreshing tropical juice, blend the pulp and seeds together to maximize health benefits.
