Date: March 31, 2008 07:15PM hi everyone,
i was just at the grocery store the other day and i was looking at the "exotic" fruit section and found something that i thought looked like a chocolate sapote. seeing everyone talk about them really made me want to try one!! so, anyway, i bought it and it turns out that it is a passion fruit. i have not ever bought one before (or even tried one!) and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what i can do with it? are they good to just eat on their own? should i put it in a smoothie? any suggestions would be great! thanks for your time, have a great day, mindy Re: passion fruit

FYI you want to wait until the passionfruit turns UGLY, starts to get all wrinkly and brown, before you eat it. its not ripe when its all firm and pretty and yellow/green. they are called lilikoi in hawaii. Re: passion fruit

Date: April 01, 2008 03:06AM HA! I saw them for the first time at Whole Foods yesterday. I was admiring the firm and purple ones (these were a purple kind), and I did spot a few ugly ones, immediately thinking, "OMG WTF Who would pay $209382304830934.99 + Whole Foods tax for THAT?!"
I'll wait until they appear at the Asian markets for much cheaper before I try one. They are strange and wrinkley! Re: passion fruit
