Passion Fruit

I’ve had passion fruit numerous times in juice form, and occasionally in ice cream. But it was only when we were in Cambodia a few years ago that I had a passion fruit in the flesh. I hadn’t seen one again until our return to southeast Asia. They are all over Nha Trang and we’ve averaged about one a day. The more wrinkled they are on the surface, the riper and sweeter the innards (though still quite tart). Inside, they are almost entirely fluorescent yellow juice, with small edible black seeds. Bring along a spoon.
