Passion Fruit (Red, Layer) Plant

Purple Passion Fruit is a premium tropical fruit celebrated for its sweet-tart flavour, rich aroma, and exceptional nutritional value. Slightly smaller than the yellow passion fruit, the fruits typically measure 5–7 cm in diameter and have a round to oval shape with a smooth, waxy skin.

As the fruit ripens, the skin changes from purple to deep dark red, developing a naturally wrinkled and leathery texture. Inside, a soft white pith surrounds the seed cavity, which contains juicy yellow to orange pulp filled with numerous edible black seeds.

The pulp is highly aromatic, juicy, and succulent, offering a refreshing tropical flavour with delicate floral notes and subtle hints of guava.
