How Is The Taste Of Passion Fruit

Now that you have mastered how to make passion fruit with sugar, it is time to try something new! There are many recipes using passion fruits in them so they are not too difficult to find. However, there is one recipe that does not use sugar as an ingredient but instead uses the juice of the passion fruit. This recipe is much more elegant than just eating the whole passion fruit by yourself or adding some passion fruit syrup to breakfast dishes!

The cream of the tangy flavor of the passion fruit can be added into almost anything; soups, salads, pasta dishes, and even desserts! When making this addition into a dessert, it becomes an easy way to achieve balance due to the acidity of the fruit used.

There are several variations of this recipe depending on what part of the fruit you use and if it has been sweetened before being mixed into the other ingredients. In fact, most people mix it into chocolate either melted down or dried and ground up into powder form which then can be re-dissolved in liquid.

History of passion fruit

Historically, natives in the area where the passion fruits grow have used them in their diets and for medicinal purposes. Before Europeans arrived, there are no records of people outside of South America eating this fruit!

Prior to colonization, tribes would eat the pulp that is left over when the passion fruit is cut in half or juice it by squeezing it. They would then mix it into other dishes or drink it as an infusion.

Colonization brought new settlers who planted the seeds everywhere, which led to a massive increase in growth. Since they were not eaten locally before, most Indians did not associate taste with the plant until later. When Europeans did try the fruit, it was usually described as having a sour flavor that tasted like vinegar.

Since then, different cultures have experimented with the berries to see what part of the plant gives off the acidity. The skin of the berry has been tried along with the white membrane that covers the inside. Both do not work well because you need the flesh of the fruit to produce the tangy flavor.

Most countries now use the juice of the dried fruit to make products such as jams and juices. Some recipes require the whole berry so if you want to try making your own jam, soak one passion fruit in liquid sugar and milk of water and process in a pot.

How to choose passion fruit

The taste of passion fruits can actually be categorized into three different types, depending on what you use them in!
As mentioned earlier, when choosing fresh passion fruits, make sure they are not over-mulched with dirt or water.

If you like the sweet flavor of raw berries, then add some salt and mix together. The salty tangy flavor will bring out the sweetness of the passion fruit even more.

Alternatively, if you like chocolate chips, soak one piece of dried passion fruit in plain milk for an hour and enjoy it as dessert! This way, there is no need to add any other flavors.

The last option is to roast the passion fruit either dry or in coconut oil until golden brown and delicious.

How to prepare passion fruit

The most common way to eat passion fruits is by having them either as a dessert or in a drink. They can be dried and then mixed into yogurt or other foods, or they can be sipped directly.

Another way to enjoy passion fruits is to cut one in half and taste it raw. Some people even like to remove the inner seed and lick it! This does not work for everyone though, so do not try this if you are sensitive to seeds.

You should know that there are two types of passion fruits- white and pink. Both have similar recipes and methods of preparation, but some say that white ones are better than the others.

Personally, I love both and cannot decide which one I prefer.

As mentioned before, eating the entire fruit is not the best way to taste a fresh passion fruit.
