Passion Fruit

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.
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.
Passion fruit is a good source of vitamins A and C, as well
as potassium and iron.
