Passion fruit is eaten by cutting it in half and scooping out the pulp with a spoon. The pulp contains edible seeds and a gelatinous juice that is tart and flavorful. You can eat the pulp and seeds directly from the shell, optionally adding a little sweetener or cream to balance the tartness. If you prefer, you can strain out the seeds to enjoy the juice alone. Passion fruit pulp can also be used in smoothies, desserts, sauces, or drinks. Here are the main steps to eat passion fruit:
- Cut the fruit in half with a sharp knife.
- Use a spoon to scoop out the soft pulp and seeds inside.
- Eat the pulp and seeds directly or strain the seeds out if you prefer juice.
- Sweeten the pulp or add cream if it's too tart.
- Use the pulp in recipes like yogurts, desserts, cocktails, or smoothies.
The seeds are crunchy but edible, and you don't need to discard them unless you prefer the juice without seeds. Passion fruit is delicious fresh or incorporated into various dishes and drinks.
