Taste of this fruit 

Passion fruit can only be described as sweet, but it is quite tart when fresh. This combination of sweet and sour is what creates it so curious. The taste is styled such as citrusy with hints of melon, pineapple or kiwi. The whole inside of the fruit is edible. The white core is spongy and a little cocoon, but also a little bitter, so not many will eat it, even though it's perfectly fine. The seeds are tart and crunchy, though not hard, providing a striking textural juxtaposition to the rich flesh. As the fruit ripens, its sweetness increases, but more importantly, its complexity. When overripe, it even tastes slightly fermented.

Season of passion fruit

The fruit is a warm-weather fruit native to the subtropical regions of South America. It grows on a vine called the passage Flora edulis, the passionflower vine. Not surprisingly, it is eaten and used in cooking throughout South America, and although it is native to northern Argentina, Paraguay and southern Brazil, it is exported worldwide. Today, fruit is also grown in Australia, California, Florida, New Zealand and Hawaii, and depending on location, may be available year-round. For example, in California, Passion Fruits are only available from January to November, while in Hawaii, they are available year-round.

Production of Passion fruit 

The fruit is grown commercially in many countries in tropical and subtropical regions. However, because passion production is still relatively low compared to other major crops, databases of fruit production and trade statistics tend to lump fruits together with other smaller tropical fruits, making accurate numbers difficult to obtain. Production of this fruit is not directly searchable because it belongs to the category "Fruits not otherwise specified, fresh tropical fruits" (not elsewhere specified). This fruit grows on the passion flower plant and comes from the passiflora family, which is actually the Hebrew word for the fruit. The two main commercially available varieties are Hawaiian yellow and New Zealand purple. They are oval in shape and about three inches long. Both yellow and purple have a sweet and sour taste, but the purple fruit is juicier and less sour. When ripe, the skin is deep purple-brown and the flesh bright yellow, sprinkled with edible black seeds.

In Australia, the pulp is covered with cream and sugar, while in Venezuela it is used to make ice cream. If you haven't tried a passion drink or cocktail, you're missing out.
