Passion Fruit

Selection Information

Usage:

Selection: Good-quality Passion fruit has very old-looking skin. The underlying shell remains hard, but the skin will be brown, shriveled and may even have spots of mold on it. This will not hurt the quality of the product.

Avoid: Avoid product that is soft. Mold is okay - it can be wiped off.

Seasonal Information

Available February to July from New Zealand; May to July from Florida; and July to March from California.
