There are 5 main varieties of passioflora. The most commonly available are the purple and yellow varieties.

Passiflora edulis has small round or oval-shaped fruits with purple skin and yellow filling. The colour changes from green to deep purple when ripe.

Passiflora flavicarpa is usually slightly larger than the purple variety, with round or oval-shaped, white filling and yellow skin. The colour changes from green to yellow when ripe. Like the one in the picture.

In Indonesia, it is popular to have this fruit as beverage. The one with yellow flesh is processed as a fruit juice concentrate. While the white one can be eaten straight.
The pulp is filtered and the seeds are removed to be then cooked with sugar to make a concentrate.

To enjoy it, one should mix the concentrate with water and some ice. The sweet tangy and fragrant of the juice is really refreshing.

Ansonsten: sieht echt lecker aus die Frucht! :)

I've always loved passionfruit for their flavor. They have this perfect balance between sweet and tart, something that most other fruit don't even come close to.

But yes, they are still pretty high in sugar.
