The passion fruit has to be one of the most intensely and enticingly scented of all fruits.

Passion fruit is the small, round edible fruit of the passion flower. Passion fruit is red, gold or brownish-purple on the outside with a yellowish pulp that has small, black, edible seeds.

Enjoy passion fruit sliced in half, scooping out the seedy pulp.

Serve it in fruit salads, or with chicken, pork or fish.

Strain the pulp and use it in juices, cocktails, desserts and sauces.
