How And When To Eat Passion Fruit

The lovely tangy flavor of passion fruit comes from its key ingredient, citric acid. This sour citrus compound is mostly found in fruits like oranges or strawberries.

It also happens to be an excellent source of vitamin C as well as magnesium and potassium. All three minerals work together to help keep your heart healthy!

While most people know how to use fresh passion fruit for their delicious taste, some may not know when it’s appropriate to enjoy them. In this article, we will discuss that. Read on to learn more about why you should sometimes make room for less-pleasant foods and what to do with leftovers if you ever make passion fruit dessert!

Disclaimer: Only eat one bite per mouthful at a time. Do not chew the whole thing too quickly otherwise half of the juice could burn your throat and stomach.

General tips: Use salt to wash the passion fruit before adding it to another food item. This removes any acidic residue that could potentially hurt your health.

Never heat passion fruit unless the instructions say to do so.

Look for fresh passion fruit

It is not recommended to buy dried or bottled passion fruits as these have additives and preservatives that may contain sugar which could contribute to weight gain. If you would like to use dried passion fruit, make sure it is from a source that uses natural products.

Many people enjoy eating them while traveling or during food festivals where there are many different foods to choose from. Since they taste similar to normal berries, most people don’t really notice the passion fruit flavor.

However, some people do say their palate gets more stimulated by the taste of the passion fruit.

Peel passion fruit

Once you have your passion fruits, you can now peel them! This is very important as not everyone enjoys eating raw or barely cooked vegetables.

If you are ever in a situation where there are no cooking facilities, this step is crucial to enjoy the passion fruit fully.

After peeling off the skin, wash the pulp and seeds under running water until they feel slightly wet. Spread it onto a plate and refrigerate.

Once cool, use a spoon to scoop out the juicy white flesh and season with salt and pepper to taste.

You can then eat it like any other piece of tropical fruit — either alone or mixed into some kind of food.

Try making passion fruit juice

One of our favorite ways to enjoy passion fruits is by mixing them into a liquid and drinking it! This process is called extracting the passionfruit pulp or pressing the passionfruit just like you would press grapes for wine.

You can either use a juicer, blender, mortar and pestle, or use your hands to mash the passionfruits and then squeeze the liquid out.

Once you have extracted all of the juicy texture, drink it right away! The flavor will intensify as it dries down.

Use passion fruit for garnish

Most recipes call for pouring the seeds and pulp of the passion fruits onto your plate and eating it with a spoon. However, you can add some fun to your meal by tossing the berries directly into your mouth!

If you are ever in the mood to eat something sweet then try adding one or more passion fruit to the recipe. The taste will wash away any hunger pangs that you may have had before serving this dessert.

Some recipes require boiling the ingredients first, which could eliminate part of the flavor if not done properly.

Combine with other fruit

While eating passion fruits is delicious alone, there are some ways you can mix it up and try it in new recipes. Adding one or two berries into your dessert or eating it as an after-dinner treat is a great way to enjoy it!
As we mentioned before, most people agree that if you don’t like something, then don’t eat it, so chances are good that you will love dried passion fruits.

But what about the juice? Some people actually prefer the liquid over the dried version, so unless you feel very strong about not liking dried foods, then maybe start off with just putting in a little bit of dryness first and see how you feel.

There are few things that taste better than fresh passion fruit mixed into your favorite food or eaten on its own.

Serve with chocolate

While eating passion fruit is always fun, there are some ways you can consume it that make a difference. One of these strategies is topping your dessert or meal with an easy to spread cream called passion fimoce.

This cream has something special in it – potassium!

Potassium helps keep blood vessels relaxed, which makes for better circulation. More circulation means more nutrients get to all parts of the body, including the mouth. That’s why most people like adding extra potassium to their diet during times of stress.

Passion fruits have a very high concentration of this nutrient, so one little piece will do the trick! Spread some on your dessert and enjoy your food more fully.

General tips: remember that taste changes as hunger levels change, so you may want to eat some water before trying the passionfruit again.

Try making passion fruit butter

While eating fresh passion fruits is fun, cooking with them can be tricky as they contain a potent acid that will cause it to break down and spoil quickly. If you like the taste of freshly sliced or mashed passion fruits, then no worries!

Making passion fruit butter is easy and can be done in several different ways. Once you have your ingredients, you’ll need to measure them properly to ensure the correct consistency.

Some recipes require melted coconut oil to help create an ideal texture, but we won’t include that since coconut oil may not be suitable for some people.

If you want to give this recipe style a try, just use natural soft spreadable fats such as olive oil or softened shortening instead.

Combine with other fruit

While eating passion fruits by themselves is fun, trying them as part of another recipe or serving style is much more interesting! They are delicious in desserts and drinks, such as smoothies or frappes.
They can also be eaten alone if you like that flavor.

You may have heard of people adding fresh passion fruit to water and drinking it as an antioxidant boost or health tonic.
