Passion Fruit (Purple, Layer) Plant

Purple Passion Fruit is a premium tropical fruit known for its sweet-tart flavour, intense aroma, and exceptional nutritional value. The fruits are slightly smaller than yellow passion fruit, typically measuring 5–7 cm in diameter, with a round to oval shape and a beautiful deep purple to dark red rind.

As the fruit matures, the skin develops a naturally wrinkled, leathery texture. Inside, the juicy yellow to orange pulp surrounds numerous edible black seeds, offering a refreshing tropical flavour with floral notes and subtle hints of guava.

Purple Passion Fruit is highly aromatic and is widely enjoyed fresh, in juices, desserts, smoothies, and fruit salads.
