I have been a Passion Fruit nut since a very early age picking them off the vine for my breakfast when I spent the summers during school Vacation in Puerto Rico.

Although I've ordered these twice I came away Very disappointed each time at the small, nearly empty husks of purple leather that were purported to be Passion Fruit. I made the descision to buy them twice because there are no others availible and for me, having something close is "something at least". I really like passion fruit so i will take what I can get when there is a lack but I must inform you who think these are what they are supposed to be, No,.these are lower rung examples at best. Nearly a third of what was delivered were the size of an egg with a teaspoon of runny yellow water inside and the rest were just a bit closer to a lemon in size but sour and rather dry inside. I'll admit, among the entire order there were maybe five that were correct inside and out but they were the exception.

If you really want the good stuff you won't find it here. wait till Next year and see if the Golden Passion Fruit come back, They were missing this year because a storm destroyed the crop. I am Hopeful the farm can produce them in the upcoming year and restore my favorite fruit to my breakfast menu.
