Granadilla
About
This tropical fruit is said to be named not for the passionate propensity it promotes but because particular parts of the plant's flowers resemble different symbols of Christ's crucifixion, such as the crown of thorns, though native to Brazil, passion fruit (also called granadilla ) is now also grown in Australia, California, Florida, Hawaii (where it's called lilikoi ) and New Zealand.
Information
Physical Description
Granadilla is a small round fruit (smaller than a kiwi) that wrinkles and darkens as it ripens. Only the pulp of the fruit is edible, and it is suspended 'web-like' from a waxy interior.

Selecting and Buying
Preparation and Use
Use your fingers and push in the middle of the fruit. It will naturally crack open. Do this all around the center of the fruit. Pull it apart, remove the white fleshy pith and suck up the goodness inside, seeds and all.
