The passion fruit

In the picture are 2 varieties of passion fruit. I was holding the regular passion fruit that is sold in the market while the small yellow objects in the vine is the wild variety of passion fruit. I chanced upon the wild variety in a mountain resort. It was so sweet that I decided to bring home some seeds for planting. That vine is growing in our front yard.

The passion fruit is a unique fruit that has no flesh, just the shell and the seeds. The taste is very sweet but if you bite the seeds, it will have a slightly sour taste like a nice flavor. The fruit is not really common here and is only available in the supermarket sometimes but not all year round. There is a bottled juice of passion fruit but I have not sampled it yet because what I like is the fresh fruit.
