MARACUYA - Passiflora edulis var.flavicarpa

The Maracuya belongs to the passion fruits family. The fruit is round to oval shaped and has a weight between 110 to 125gr and 6 to 7.5cm of diameter. When ripe, the fruit changes from an intense green colour to a shinny yellow. The crust is thick and smooth, although with the time it tends to become wrinkly due to natural ripening. The inside of the fruit contains numerous and small edible black seeds, covered with a crystalline, juicy, yellow-orange pulp. It has a sweet and sour flavour with a delicious and intense aroma.
