How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh passion fruit
- Choose passion fruits with a dark purple skin that is slightly wrinkled, large in size, and with a dry stem.
- Ripe passion fruit usually has a characteristic light fragrance; the stronger the smell, the tastier the fruit. Conversely, if the fruit has a foul or sour smell, it should not be chosen.
- If the fruit feels heavy, has smooth skin, and is still green, it indicates that the passion fruit is not ripe, with thick skin and little pulp.
- You can check the pulp density of the passion fruit by holding it and shaking it gently. A juicy passion fruit will feel somewhat heavy when shaken and appear dense inside.
