What is Passion Fruit?

Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a tropical fruit known for its bright purple or yellow skin. Inside, it has a fragrant, tangy pulp filled with crunchy black seeds. People enjoy its sweet and tart flavor, which makes it a favorite for juices, desserts, and fancy dishes around the world. It goes well with other tropical fruits like dragonfruit, pineapple, and mango.
