Passion fruit..Do you like it???

It's not a very popular or common fruit and is available only for a short period in this month. Well the food is a low calorie high fiber fruit. It is packed with iron, vitamin D and is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C.
My friend has got two trees in her farm house and so we are lucky to a get it a few times in this month. This fruit is thought to be a booster of your immunity and helps you fight sickness that generally comes during this season.
It is supposed to detoxify body and wash away infections from body. My daughter had recently got up from viral infection and so I am giving it to her regularly.
We will have it for another few days till it's gone for a year. I had one today for my mid morning snacks.. I like the sweet and sour taste.
How about you?? Have you ever tried it? It's quite expensive in market and very rare to find.
The photo is of the passion fruits that I have. I have cut one to show the inside juice and seeds. I just ate the cut one

@arunima25 I eat them but I'm not mad about them. Usually I have them in a fruit salad or in icing.

@JudyEv Yes. It's not even so great with taste. But I like it and have it more for health reasons. Adding it to fruit salad is a good idea.

It's not so common. Many people grow the vines in their garden. The flowers are very pretty. You get it in stores where you might find exotic fruits. It's quite expensive.

You might get in some stores that keep exotic fruits but is quite costly. It is 250 to 300 per kg.The inside is more like the inside of tomato only yellow in color.

I have only sampled it once and I did like it. Here they are vines and are not hardy through our winter. We can get the juice in the store. I do prefer the fruit. The flowers are really pretty.

Yes the flowers are pretty and so many people have it in garden for that purpose. Even I prefer fresh fruit over juice.

I have only eaten them a few times (in Asian restaurants) but I like them. They are not very common here, and many stores don't sell them.

You see the yellow juicy pulp with seeds. You just have to scoop it and eat. It tastes sweet and sour. I like it while many don't. Somewhat like sweet lime except that the seeds make some crunchy sounds if you chew them. They are too small and can be swallowed with the juice.

Even I like the taste. Sweet and sour. And making a juice it more like eating the fruit. You can just scoop and collect and later drink it. Did you add water to it?

It is not even that common in India. It is seasonal and does not stay more than a month.

Its more like tomato with a little big seeds and yellow pulp. Sweet and sour to taste. You can just scoop and eat. Seeds are soft and can be swallowed.

I have never tasted it. I love the flowers it produces, they are some of the most complex looking buds I"ve ever seen. My daughter had one growing in her front yard, seems the butterflies love it too, but they lay their eggs there and the caterpillars ended up killing the plant.
