Since tomorrow is Valentine's Day, I figured passion fruit would be the perfect food to spotlight from the market. Passion fruit cocktails and juices are popular but not many people have tried the real thing and they are delicious! It has a sweet and tart flavor and the seeds are crunchy and provide a great texture.
When to Buy: In California, they are currently in season so go to the market and pick one up to try. Store ripe passion fruit in the fridge to preserve. Smooth, unripe passion fruit will ripen in a few days at room temperature. The fruit are ripe when the skin is deeply wrinkled.
How to Prepare: The fruit is very easy to prepare, just cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp with a spoon and enjoy!
Passion fruit is a good source of iron and potassium, antioxidants (Vit A and C), and the seeds are high in fiber.
Happy Valentine's Day!!
