Granadilla

Granadilla is one of many types of passion fruit, which come in various variants. The fruit resembles the passion fruit and the maracuja, two of its near relatives. The granadilla can be identified by its vivid orange color. Granadillas have a similar interior to other members of the family: jelly-like flesh bursting with edible seeds, but with a little sweeter flavor.

The skin turns orange throughout cultivation from green and yellow. The skin should still feel somewhat smooth within the store. The skin will begin to crease a little after purchasing. However, the granadilla is fully ripe at this point, unlike other fruits where this is a symptom of overripeness. Granadilla can also be cooked, blended, and sweetened to make a refreshing juice. It is packed with vitamins A, B, C, E, and K.
