Please try Marula fruit if you get the chance! They're very common here in South Africa (when in season) and you can usually buy them by the roadside
@@hailtr I still need to try that. when are they in season?
Not sure if the producer still does: Years ago the producer of Amarula liqueur donated a percentage of sales to an Elephant Park.
will do
Have you tried Maypops, (passiflora incarnata) the North American passion fruit?
From a friend I heard that some years ago there was a horticulturist here in north Florida who was trying to breed tropical passion fruits with our small native variety called "maypop" to create a hardy version of the big types. Sadly, he passed away and apparently the work he did was lost to the world.
Jared has a maypop video kzhead.info/sun/e62BdbKFaGeVkoU/bejne.html
I’m really interested in passion fruit especially what you just described because native may pop grows wild next to my house do you know if your friend had a book
@@nikol3258 I only heard of this third hand, so not aware of any publications.
Nonsense. The trees surely live on.
@@TheAverageNooob passionfruit is a vine, not a tree
Being a Costa Rican local I only found out about Passiflora guadrangularis this year while visiting a great-great aunt in the family. She advised us to not eat a lot of the fruit because it WILL have gastrointestinal consequences. Her nephew (our grandpa) had to find out the hard way.
I've always chewed the seeds. Why wouldn't you? They're delightfully crunchy with good flavour.
Unfortunately for me, the last time I ate passion fruit and chewed the seeds, I got very bad tooth pain when I tried to eat something later. But this is just me. The pain just started immediately after, and went away in a little while, which is why I’m certain that’s what caused it.
I'm with you, the crunchy seeds are my favourite part!
@@mariomaka9802 perhaps a seed got lodged in your gum? And the later got dislodged again.
granadilla seed is sour and doesn't taste good
The seeds drop my blood pressure like a rock, the pulp is fine, but the seeds ... Yikes
Hey there! I love your videos! I collect Passifloras, here are some extra info: the yellow "edulis" is actually a different species, now called Passiflora flavicarpa. It is very closely related to edulis. The other edulis might be a cultivar named 'Frederick', or a hybrid of edulis and flavicarpa. The slightly larger Granadilla might be Passiflora nitida, although not sure, some wild grown passifloras turn out to be long lost species or never-before-seen cultivars, but I am pretty confident that it is not P. ligularis. Every species of Passiflora is edible, but not all tastes good. But only the pulp! All the other parts of the plant contains cyanide, the only exception is the flesh of the P. quadrangularis. That's the only species where you can eat the whole fruit. The flesh is not so good tasting, often marmalade is made out of it. I tasted quite some species and hybrid fruits, my favourite is P. incarnata, or maypop, but there were some horrible ones as well. For example, P. subpeltata fruit taste like a used gym sock stuffed with garlic, soaked in paint removal for a while. Seeds contains laxative chemicals, so thats why its not recommended to chew on them. Thx for the amazing videos, good luck finding new fruits to try! :)
Whenever I eat P. incarnata I eat the seeds and I've never noticed any laxative quality, but I also don't eat a ton at once.
@@baddriversofcolga do you chew them, or just swallow the whole seeds? Also i am not quite sure about the amount you need to digest.
@@mstipee I chew them.
Hello from Paraguay. I have 3 plants of the one you said might be P. flavicarpa and the (blended) juice doesn't seem to have any laxative effect, but it is a nice relaxant. Do you have sources to read about the cyanide content? All of my life i've consumed the whole fruit in juice and not once knew of people getting ill effects, not even my (now 95) grandmother; 🤔 perhaps it's just mitridatismo from nigh daily consumption of mandioca, a root that also contains cyanogenic chemicals
I think you'd be surprised to find that the passion fruit leaves are also edible or otherwise usable, look up the uses for them
Passion fruid flavor is indeed super hard to describe. In Chinese, its literally called 百(hundred)香(flavor)果(fruit)
Cat piss
That's fascinating. Thanks for sharing! 😊
I'm pretty sure 百香 is a phonetic transcription of "passion". The plant is not native to China and was only introduced after Europeans brought it from the Americas.
@@commenter4898 百香literally message means 'hundreds gragrabt'. It is of course not native to China. He just meant we named the fruit this name because it's hard to describe the aroma of the passion fruit.
@@yanxuanli3538 I think it's just a marketing choice to use that specific transliteration, just like how kiwi fruit got translated to 奇異果 "strange fruit".
A lot of those were underripe, which would explain why they're so sour! They get much sweeter once properly ripened. I know it looks weird, but a properly ripened passion fruit should look really wrinkly on the outside. - From a Portuguese person. :)
After seeing a lot of his videos, i think that a lot of his opinions are from tasting unrippe fruit bought in markets. He could make a new series comparing market fruits with the ones with the right rippeness
He's stated in the past that he likes sour fruit so maybe it's intentional. If you enjoy the sour flavor maybe eating it a little under ripe is the way to go.
There are many varieties that don't wrinkle up when ripe.
Yes. The best flavour comes as the skin starts to wrinkle. If it's very wrinkly, you do run a risk of the flesh being dried out.
Interesting, i would never have guessed that.
Wow as usual you have taken old man’s brain and influenced it in an amazing way! My grandsons and myself have traveled MANY, MANY miles in search of plants (maybe fruits maybe vegetables and some tubers and etc. We live in the extreme middle of the US and we have went a bit crazy this summer and made trips to several south Asian areas, and (barely, unfortunately) Australia, but a few South American countries (Ecuador, and Chile, Central America and several island countries that I cannot think of at this moment). I never had a chance to do anything when I was young and I now have that chance to take my grandsons to experience things I have always wanted to do and hopefully they will remember when I am gone. About 85% was inspired by this gentleman’s content. School starts for them in about a week so I am grateful I have some memories to dwell on until we can do more. I wish I could have done this with my children too but I was always working. We have a list of several places for the next time we have together. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INSPIRING ME even though I am probably too old to do this!!! It makes me younger again. You have been our hero this summer and we have memories that would have been impossible without your inspiration. We (all three, one old man and one eleven year old, and one thirteen year old) appreciate you and we wish you happiness and good health and anything that is great in life.
Thank you for sharing your story! The time spent with your grandkids is absolutely invaluable (my favorite person was my grandma, my Omi, who passed far too soon when I was 20). I, too, have been inspired by these videos. I currently have 6 tropical seedlings in need of transplanting, and I had never tried any of them before finding this channel, lol. So far, I've only tasted 1, but the plants are so slow-growing and the fruit so perishable that I don't expect to ever find it in stores. Living in California, I also can't get most of the fruits shipped to me, so i have to grow them if i want to taste them. I'm just glad I live in a downstairs apartment and can put plants outside my patio, lol. I'd never fit on a balcony.🙄 Anyway, my whole point of writing this was to encourage you to grow a plant or two of the fruit you've discovered with your grandsons, so that you can watch it grow together. I will definitely be including my nieces and nephew in my garden adventures and such.
What a lovely comment, Wesley. Both my grandfathers are gone now, one of whom I shared a birthday with. I miss them a lot. Here's to many more travels for you and the boys!🥂
Here in Peru we call the banana passionfruit Tumbo. It's said we used it for cebiche before the lemon was introduced by the Spanish conquistadors. Careful of its slight astringness tho. In the case of the Granadilla, you don't need a knife to open it. Albeit harder, you can peel it by punching it with your thumb as it's also a bit more fragile, almost like you'd peel an egg. About the Maracuyá, we make juice with added water and sugar due to its sheer acidity, rivaling the lime lemonade so that its present in most restaurants here.
I would pay to drink the juice off of the cutting board, after Jared opened all of the fruit❣️👍
For me Granadilla is the perfect one to eat or in a non alcoholic beverage while Marcuya is the one to use for drinks like a Brazilian style Capifruta
The giant maracujá (which may be one and the same as the giant granadilla) is somewhat common in Brazilian backyards, though not so easy to find for sale. We also eat the shell, as if it were a melon. The texture is the same and the taste very reminiscent of melon.
I've started shopping at my local Asian market and I knew so many fruits because of all your videos, my partner was quite impressed :) Learning from you really helps not being overwhelmed by so many new things all at once. Thank you for sharing you passion ;)
When you take all the fruit off the seeds & let them dry for a bit they look really cool. They have dimples like a golf ball. I know a field with tons of passion fruit/flowers. They're wild & I haven't found any that fully matures yet.. it's very dry where I'm at in Oklahoma & they also get mowed down every year thanks to the city... the field is right behind a bunch of restaurants & businesses. I'm working on taking a cutting & growing some at home with the store bought kind I have growing. Going to try & cross breed them to get something new lol.
The use of that intro/outro song made me think you should Collab with TastingHistory and maybe make some videos of the history of some weird fruits. Maybe cook up a rare fruit dish 🤔
I was told to let them sit out awhile until kinda wrinkly. they get sweeter. the round purple ones make a great icecream base. the insides including the rind has always reminded me of a soft pomegranate.
I'm actually going to talk to my county extension agent tomorrow about a passion fruit growing project I'm heading on our farm and this is the perfect thing to get me hyped after a cold hardy avocado tasting today in Gainesville. Thank you for everything you do!
Cold Hardy avocado?! Youve got my interest piqued!
those orange granadillas are my favourite fruit! they're so hard to find in grocery stores in ontario where i live so it's always a special treat when i see them (even when they cost like 5 dollars each)
I'm so happy you made this video! I've been obsessed with passifloras for the last two years, not only the fruits but also its calming properties here in Rome we have a widespread species called passiflora caerulea and i always pick the fruits from it when i see them, you should try those too! they're amazing and very sweet, almost candy-like
I have been fortunate enough to have been born in a country where all these fruits grow. We call the banana passion fruit as "curuba" . Usually granadilla, maracuya, banana passion fruit all those we use them for fruit juices they are kind of acid (sour) not suitable for eat the pulp w/o sugar. Also those fruits are eating with seeds you just don't chew them just let them go on your throat. But granadilla is the queen of fruits, it is so sweet and soft that you can eat lots of them and it's just delicious!!! Also Americans are so used to eat fruits as they are sold in supermarkets they don't know fruits need to be ripped until the smell of the fruit can be detected from the countertop in the kitchen, that sometimes means the shell of these fruits like passion fruit) need to start wrinkling, so the sugars in the fruit are easily detectable. That applies to all fruits from grapefruit to pineapple, here in America fruits are sold under ripped. I let fruits in my counter from one to three weeks before I eat them. Big, big difference in flavor!
I bought the Granadilla once at the grocery store here in central Newfoundland last year. I was so amazed at how good it tasted! I have been looking for it since.
That's quite the journey that little passion fruit took north!
@@toddburgess5056 yes, definitely quite the long journey. Which is part of the reason food is so expensive here.
The banana passionfruit grows wild as a weed where I live (australia), the possums love it which is a problem because its a really invasive vine and spreads over plants & covers everything and spreads easy. I keep having to haul the huge vines out of my garden from the neighbors patch of it. The occasional fruit is a nice bonus for the work. One of these days I will attempt to do something with the long long vines it grows.
Weave them into baskets
First time i have ever seen someone cut them top to bottom, but i guess that makes more sense for the banana ones. I love growing Passionfruit, it just goes crazy here in Australia, always have to chop it right back or it takes over everything. they can vary a fair bit fruit to fruit with amount of pulp and sweetness depending on how much water and age they are picked. The colour can change a bit too.
I grew up eating them on my Nan's farm. I was thinking the same about cutting them, we always just cut the top off and scooped the seeds out lol. And yes, they will take over everything. I've seen purple, yellow and white ones here in Australia. And agreeing with an above comment, we were always taught that they weren't ripe until all wrinkly.
Been fascinated by these since a neighbor had one on a fence when I was a kid.Purple flower orange oval fruit.It was California,she was Australian ,no idea what kind it was but the fragrance was heavenly.
the small purple one is common where im from we call it masapflora. as a kid we would open it with our hands not a knife :) and put it in a cup mix a little water then customize it with to our taste with spices.
Go to vivero El Arca in Santa Barbara de Heredia, Costa Rica. They have many weird fruit plantations you can taste. Your should also do a video on jocotes and another video on pitahaya (dragon fruit which actually comes from Costa Rica) and is in season. Hylocereus costaricensis
So from my experience, the "rind" of passion fruit tends to get thinner as the fruits get more ripe, which may be why the first two opened look different (having the yellow one open and seeing the inside collapsed like that also suggests it is more ripe.) I believe, though I am not certain that those two are Passiflora Edulis Var. Flavicarpa (yellow) and Passiflora Edulis "Frederick" (reddish purple). It's debated if Var Flavicarpa is a different species from your typical store bought Edulis, as although the fruits smell & taste similar, that's really where the similarities end. Great video as usual, the edited effects with the Giant Granadilla had me rolling
In Tennessee you can find wild passionflower sometimes, which produce small passion fruits. You don't really find the fruit at market, though. The fruits are often called maypops, and they are from a variety of passion flower that is confirmed to be native to the region unlike other varieties.
Would you sell some seeds of it?
We have them in Arkansas. We use them to make pies, juice/punch, and jelly.
It also happens to be the state flower!
@@ndigokali State wildflower! Unfortunately snobs in West TN got Iris recognized as the State flower. I think it kind of fits to see Passion Flower as representative East TN and Iris as representative of West TN.
It’s cool that America has a native passion fruit
oh i love "that one little purple one" that shows up in my supermarkets too. I wish passion fruit were more available, theyre crazy expensive here too.
I love passion fruit. I mostly see the purple kind but have seen other ones occasionally. The purple one is available all year around where I live. They are super expensive here too. There used to work a super lazy person at my supermarket. He didn't know the names of fruits and punched everything in as either Apples or potatoes. I bought a lot of expensive fruit when he was in the registrer 😂
We should start some kind of movement to get Maypops in our temperate climate stores. I have seen small amounts of artichokes, figs, cardoons and peanuts in our zone 7 farmer's markets, things that are really pushing it in terms of climate, and never seen a single maypop.
Imagine my surprise at this video popping up literally the same day I planted 4 varieties of passionfruit in my garden. Haha. I have been binging your videos for a couple months now, but this is my first time commenting. Love the content and your various adventures in search of tasty... and sometimes not so tasty fruits. My favourite videos are the citrus ones.
Nice! Hope you have em trellises, or you ain't gonna HAVE a garden, though!
Sounds like a nice garden
I guess an update - I reckon I harvested close to 500 passionfruit this season. Was giving them away by the bucket load. Haha.
The species native to Texas is lovely and has some of the most beautiful flowers
Tenadam (the fruit of _Ruta chalepensis_ from Ethiopia) have a very distinctive passionfruit aroma and have even been sold in Europe as passion berries. In Ethiopia, they are used to spice tea and coffee.
Always dried as a spice, I should have added.
The passion fruit you see in the US, the small purplish one is called gulupa in Colombia. And for a treat, if you get banana passion fruit again, make a juice out of it with milk. It's REALLY common over here.
Ooh I'll have to try that, it grows everywhere here. I've only ever used it in icing or in cakes.
@@tambaloneusderpaloneus6626 It's great in a mousse!
You can use the sour varieties for pretty much everything you'd use lemons or limes for: juices, smoothies, pies, custards, icecream, candy, sauces, etc. The amount of juice you use is basically the same as well.
For me, the choice of Passiflora is easy - whatever can survive in zone 8a. Supposedly P. caerulea can be alright when ripe, but I've never gotten fruits from my vine, and supposedly there are slightly "improved" varieties of P. incarnata that I don't have. Maybe some day I'll manage something a bit nicer... Do you ever think you'll be able to review some super rare, cold hardy passion fruits? Some Passiflora from the Andes region seem like they could be reasonably hardy, and perhaps one might even turn out to be good for fruit production.
Please do this! a series on cold hardy fruits would be great.
Hearing the intro music I thought I had clicked on a Tasting History video for a moment, haha.
Collab would be nice 😉
You’ve got to try Amarula fruit it’s delicious
Excellent video! You could have done the juice just using a blender. It's better for extracting all the flavor. My mom used to prepared the banana granidilla (also known as Curuva) with milk. You should also try it!
I grow 4 varietals of maypop, and they should be ripening soon. May I send you some? I’m only a few hours south of NYC
Thanks for the offer! I'm not sure if I'll be around or traveling by then. But send me an email when they are ready. it's in the about section on my channel
(yellow because it's the common variety where I live) passionfruit juice is my favourite juice. It's way too great, tbh. I've had it on its own a few times as well, and it's so funny to be able to imagine pretty much what you were experiencing at that moment. EDIT: BTW, my personal recommendation for making passionfruit juice, if you have it in hand, is to shove the pulp into a blender, and, optionally, strain the leftover seed bits
I had the opportunity to taste the local Passionfruit while in western Panama (Chiriqui Provence). They were about the size of a large orange, smooth, and yellow in color. Knowing how good and sweet our ripe ones are here in Arkansas I thought I was in for a treat, but these Panamanian Passionfruit were intensely sour, much like a lemon. I suspect they were not really fully ripe. I believe none of them are ripe before they externally wrinkle. Those American ones that the Explorer tasted on a previous vlog were not fully ripe because they were not wrinkled. When ripe they are very pleasantly sweet but slightly musky.
once I found big, white passionfruits being sold at a market and got really excited. I took them home to discover that they were actually crystal apple cucumbers that were mislabelled
You’re eating the passion fruits under ripe, you gotta wait until they’re wrinkly
The purple and the big yellow related to the purple
Cool to see you're here in Costa Rica. Looks like you're enjoying yourself. I've planted the big granadilla in my garden but eventually got rid of them and planted normal maracuya, both the purple and yellow varieties, in it's place. I found the giant granadilla sort of bland. If you're still here in CR, a good juice blend is passion fruit, orange juice and dragon fruit. For a standard blender I'll add the pulp from one big or two smaller passion fruit, the juice of 4 or 5 oranges and about half a dragon fruit, put in 2-3 Tsp. of sugar and fill it the rest of the way with water before blending. Makes for a great drink.
Passion fruit is my TOP #1 favorite fruit. Had many varieties. You ever had the tamarind that tastes like fish/salt?
In Venezuela we use the giant granadilla completely. The fleshy part attached to the skin is put into a blender as if it were a melon, and when serving it is mixed with the pulp and seeds. The acidity of the pulp balances the sweetness of the meaty part.
Hello, just to add that you can eat the flesh on the giant one, it is like two fruits in one. The flesh has a really peachy flavor and is very good.
i love opening granadilla, the crunch of the exterior when you break it is ASMR to me.
My backyard neighbors are growing the purple ones, and the vine crept over my fence, so I got 4 fruits so far. Trying to grow my own. This is unquestionably the best-tasting fruit I've ever had.
I recently had my first passionfruit, and yeah, I chewed the seeds...
I just found and bought Maracuyas in my local supermarket! Great timing!
I swear this man has had so much fruit there's always someone who just bought the thing or wanted to know what it was coming here
@@kyrab7914 Yeah, but it’s such a coincidence, for me at least
@@gustavsvensson1944 you guys were on the same wavelength
I just sowed some ligularis and racemosa seeds last week. Also have edulis (small purple fruited), caerulia and mollisima on the go. I'm hoping that they'll fruit under glass here but i'm very much pushing it on the climate.
We have something in the south, called a Maypop,pasa flora , above the size of a lemon.When they are yellow,the are ripe.Seedy with translucent pulp with a slight tartness.Interesting video....
Thank you for this video! 😀🌸
In Italy, I see often the flower of the passiflora caerulea, people use to grow them on fences but they don't eat the fruit. I thought it was toxic and the only good one was the purple maracuja before this video. Next spring/summer I will try one
So jealous. I had a passion fruit for the first time last week, and it's my new favorite fruit. 10:28 But I loved how delightfully crunchy they were! It was so good!
There's also rootstock species of Passionfruit, like P. caerulea, which make orange fruit with sweet red flesh. However, P. caerulea has a low yield and very high invasive potential.
Love your content, keep it up!
We have the black ones everywhere in Australia. Very yummy. Esp on vanilla slice. And you can make jam from the skins too
I had to look up what "vanilla slice" is, since I am American and grew up before the internet. It sounds delicious! Even though an entry from Macquarie Dictionary gives its alternate names as "snot-block" and "phlegm sandwich." Lol.
@@anne-droid7739 yes Australians we are a classy lot :D I think it might even be our version of a french dessert but I'm not sure. I fully recommend it though! Maybe don't tell the dinner guests what we call it though hahaha
@@tambaloneusderpaloneus6626 My dinner guests would love your terminology. My sisters, not so much...which will make it a whole lot more fun!
Maracuya is one of my favorite fruits. I love the juice. Sour and has some herbal notes almost like fresh grown tomatoes do. Like the smell of the tomato leaves
I love maracuya but it's not that common where I live so it's kind of expensive and I don't eat it frequently. I've hear it has some mild sedative properties, do you think that's true? I love these comparison videos
That is a different specie of Passiflora (P incarnata) - not really used for the fruit but the flowers.
This clearly demonstrates your passion for fruit.Well done sir
Very interesting. I love the taste of the one kind of passionfruit I've only ever tasted.
Hey, I had subscribed to your channel at some time in the past I don’t remember what I had watched. I woke up this morning and my tv was still on and one of your videos was on. I love traveling and trying new things too. Your Noni videos rolled around and I laughed my cat off my chest. I coaxed her back up and then you made Noni ketchup. I laughed so hard she gave up on me. You’re hilarious. Love your videos, thanks a bunch!❤️
I love how many passafloras that you tried! Very interesting how together they made a nice juice
Absolutely wonderful video! Interesting and academic!
What a place for a fruit market! The hill of death! 😲
For some reason I found myself there three times during my trip to Costa Rica haha 😄
@@WeirdExplorer It looks amazing. Fruit heaven! 🥰
Sounds right to me. Dead things make great fertilizer (eventually.)
My wife says you can eat the rind of the giant Granada but not the skin. They cube it up and blend half it into juice. Them add the pulp, seeds, and the rest of the cubes.
This channel is the last place I'd expect to find the name of the theme song to "Tasting History with Max Miller"... (as a subscriber of both you and him, I find that freakin' hilarious 😆)
Oh is it? that's just royalty free music that KZhead let's you use.
The energy drink “NOS” is passion fruit flavored. It’s probably the closest thing I’ve tasted that actually tastes like a passion fruit. All the teas and mixed drinks from places like Starbucks don’t taste like passion fruit to me. The grow wild in Missouri along the high power transmission lines and railroad tracks. You just have to get them before they kill everything with herbicides. Thankfully they don’t do it every year.
Check out his video on Maypops. There is no "passion fruit" growing in Missouri, and NOS does not have passion fruit in it. 2 facts
@@antoniohorta5656 does driveling semantics make you feel good about yourself? Passiflora incarnata grows abundantly in Missouri. Same genus, different species - who cares? I’ll never call it a maypop. DISCLAIMER - NOS HAS PASSIONFRUIT FLAVOR DESPITE NOT HAVING ACTUAL PASSIONFRUIT JUICE IN IT!!! Good enough???
the banana passionfruit I had was super sour. The granadillas.. (I just bought two today) super sweet, very flavorful.
Great video! Great idea with the juice! You could market that stuff!
I love how u experiment with these fruits its so cool, im always thinking sorta creative like that too like what if this fruit could be a ketchup or a juice or put into pancake batter whatever comes to mind
Informative video.
I’ve always thought the passion fruit I get in the US stores has a floral aspect. I love it.
i immediately thought of tasting history at the beginning of the episode
Also tastes great with tijin seasoning
i have a tip on eating the American passion fruit. yes when they look as good as yours it will be sour. but when you let it get very wrinkly it will be very sweet. i learned this working produce with those. i experimented with them to find out how to make them sweet. i usually buy one that looks like yours and i leave it in my fruit basket for about a week or so(until it gets very wrinkly) then you will have a sweet American passion fruit
I luuurrve passion fruits, it would definitely be fun to taste a different one than the small purple ones. And there is passionfruit soda in Sweden which is really nice.
The purple ones that have been available at Wegmans during the summer are one of my favorite fruits, and I hope to some day go somewhere that I can pick ripe from the tree. My bucket list includes a lot of fruit and quite a bit of Southeast Asia and a few islands and stuff.🤣 oh yeah, South and Central America, too.
You forgot to review the shell on P. quadrangularis. It is edible, supposedly tastes like melon
Ah right. I think I ate some in the original video
dude these videos make my day every time, ur passion for fruit (pun intended) is totally infectious
That's very interesting, in germany Maracuja (and passionsfrucht) is used as a general name for passion fruits
you should check out Amalfi Lemons. they're a very unique strain only grown on the Amalfi coast. they're used to make Limoncello
You should show the flower. Stunning!
Banana passion fruit we peel, it's an invasive weed in New Zealand, grows wild especially below 45 degrees south.
I grew some passion flowers in my garden, really lovely flowers, in the second season, I got gold passion fruits which I was really looking forward to. Once I tried them, however, they were horrid. Not sour, not sweet, just earthy tasting. I was so disappointed as they looked really tasty, I ended up ripping the plant out.
😂 i burst out laughing on the bus reading "Hill of Death" with the joyful upbeat music in the background
Great video. Didn't realize there were so many different varieties of passion fruit
Thanks! This is my favorite fruit . 😍😍😋
I have Purple and Maypop growing this year. I want to add the Banana next year. Thanks for the video!
Please I cannot find the episode where u talk about a passion fruit from baja area and share a website with the seeds of it and many other rare seeds ? Please help !! 🙏
Very cool
okay now i'am looking for the banana passion fruit (and this is how i ended up with 97 citrus trees) no self control
Amazing. Going to grow a bunch from seed!!
Would it have surprised ye if passion fruit kinds were used among the marinades & fixings of ceviche (probably known originally as siwichi) of the precolumbian kinds including tumbo (banana passion fruit)?
im not a big fan of passion fruit because i find them too pungent, but i would like to try some of these. great video!
From where i can get all the variety seeds?
With the Passiflora quadrangularis, you actually eat the rind - it is supposed to taste a little like melon.
I found a rare passiflora growing here in montenegro,passiflora caerulea or bluecrown passionfruit i only have the flower with me now because the fruits are in season in late summer
