Passionfruit Passion Fruit is native to Brazil. It acquired its name from Spanish missionaries who thought parts of the plants flowers resembled different religious symbols such as the crown of thorns. The most common variety is egg-shaped and about 3 inches long. The golden flesh has tiny, edible black seeds. The flavor is sweet-tart. The fragrance is tropical and perfumy. Selection: Choose large, heavy, firm fruit. When ripe, it has wrinkled, dimpled, deep purple skin. Storage: Leave at room temperature to ripen. Once ripe, store in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Uses & Preparation: Cut fruit in half and scoop out pulp with a spoon. Spoon the pulp over ice cream or other soft fruits. The pulp makes a delicious jam or jelly and the seeds add a unique crunchy texture. To remove seeds: Strain in a non-aluminum sieve, or use cheesecloth, squeezing to extract the juice. Availability: Year-round. Nutrition Information: Cholesterol free. High in vitamins A and C. Excellent source of fiber. Low in sodium. Good source of potassium. |

Because I'm a horrible person. I don't think I've had passion fruit. Does it taste like any other fruits? |

Varieties The following are some of the older cultivars as well as some of the more recent: 'Australian Purple', or 'Nelly Kelly'–a purple selection of mild, sweet flavor, grown in Australia and Hawaii. 'Common Purple'–the form growing naturalized in Hawaii; thick-skinned, with small seed cavity, but of fine flavor and low acidity. 'Kapoho Selection'–a cross of 'Sevcik' and other yellow strains in Hawaii. A heavy bearer of large fruits but subject to brown rot; many fruits contain little or no pulp and the juice has the off-flavor of 'Sevcik' though not as pronounced. 'Pratt Hybrid'–apparently a natural cross between the 'Common Purple' and a yellow strain; subject to rot, but juice is of fine color and flavor, low in acid. 'Sevcik Selection'–a golden form of the yellow selected in Hawaii; a heavy bearer, but subject to brown rot and the juice has a peculiar woody flavor. 'University Round Selection'–Hawaiian crosses of 'Waimanalo' and 'Yee'–fruit smaller than 'Yee'; not as attractive but yields 10% more juice of very good flavor. 'University Selection No. B-74'–a Hawaiian hybrid between 'Pratt' and 'C-77', usually yellow, occasionally with red tinges; resembles 'Waimanalo'; has good juice yield and very good flavor. 'Waimanalo Selection'–consists of 4 strains: 'C-54', 'C-77', 'C-80', of similar size, shape, color and very good flavor, and 'C-39' as pollinator. 'Yee Selection'–yellow, round, very attractive, highly disease-resistant, but fruit has thick rind and low yield of juice which is of very good flavor. What may be a great improvement over any of the above is the cultivar known as 'Noel's Special'. It is a yellow passionfruit selected in 1968 from open-pollinated seedlings of a vine discovered at an abandoned farm on Hilo, Hawaii, by Noel Fujimoto in the early 1950's. The fruit is round, averages 3.17 oz (90 g); the cavity is filled with dark-orange pulp yielding 43 to 56% bright-orange, richly flavored juice. |

Great! I've not heard of that Vanderplank book before, and I thought I knew them all. He's one of my favuourite authors in the flower/fruit scene, despite his controversially "avant-garde" views on Apricots. |
