Passiflora edulis

Field Notes
Description:
Several distinct varieties of passion fruit with clearly differing exterior appearances exist. The bright yellow ''flavicarpa'' variety, also known as the Golden Passion Fruit, can grow up to the size of a grapefruit, has a smooth, glossy, light and airy rind, and has been used as a rootstock for the Purple Passion Fruit in Australia. The dark purple ''edulis'' variety is smaller than a lemon, though it is less acidic than the yellow passion fruit, and has a richer aroma and flavour.
Notes:
In the Philippines passion fruit is commonly sold in public markets and in public schools. Some vendors sell the fruit with a straw to enable sucking out of the seeds and juices inside. It is not very popular because of its sour flavour, and the fruit is very seasonal.
