What is a passion fruit?

Passion fruit is a small tropical fruit that comes from a type of passion flower (Passiflora). They have a hard, inedible skin but when cut open reveal a yellow, juicy seeded centre that we can eat. The most common variety in the UK is a little larger than a golf ball and has brown-purple skin. You can also get a variety that is slightly larger and yellow on the outside.

Passion fruit has a sweet yet tart flavour and can be added to breakfast bowls, smoothies, salads and desserts.
