The purple variety of Passion Fruit is native to southern Brazil through Paraguay to northern Argentina. The yellow type has unknown origins, but it is thought that perhaps it is from the Amazon region or Australia. The passion fruit is nearly round or egg-shaped, about the size of a lime. It has a tough rind that is smooth and waxy, ranging in color from dark purple to pale yellow. The inside is orange colored and juicy.
Passion fruit has a pleasant fruit profile with mild acid notes.
