The passion fruit is round to oval, yellow or dark purple at maturity, with a soft to firm, juicy interior filled with numerous seeds. Moreover, the pulp of the fruit has a distinct smell and has a slightly sweet taste. The fruit can be grown to eat or for its juice, which is often added to other fruit juices to enhance aroma. In tropical countries, passion fruit is primarily used for juicing.
