Fresh Passion Fruit (2lb)

Oh my goodness I enjoyed every single one of them! they were all so sweet and very good size and smelled like paradise they perfectly maintained their freshness, sorry I never thought of taking a photo

Love these fruits. About 1/2 of them looked old.

I fell in love with passion fruit at a breakfast buffet in Sydney AU. At the time, I didn't appreciate their look, but I thought I'd be brave and try one and then went back and took all of them off the fruit tray. Ever since then, I've been searching for passion fruit at home. The few times I do find them, they cost $3-4 a piece. I buy them anyway. I even bought a vine that I babied for two years, watching it take over every other plant in reach while only giving up four fruit in two years (it died when I tried to prune it back -- apparently passion fruit vines like to roam free). When I saw I could get them through Amazon (Tropical), I figured I'd give it a try despite the reviews complaining about the fruits' freshness, etc. I got my delivery the other day (mine weren't packed with the vines, just wadded up paper) and the only thing that would make me happier is if they weren't so expensive. I got only eight fruit -- but they are HUGE -- easily twice the size of any I've seen before. And I got 2 lbs as advertised. I let them get a little wrinkly and then just cut them in half and eat the flesh and seeds with a spoon. So far I've only eaten one, and it was delicious, exactly what I've been craving. Yes, they're definitely a luxury, but I will be ordering again, at least every once in awhile.

We ordered the 2-lb box of passion fruit from Jiro's Garden on the Friday before MLK weekend. It was shipped the Tuesday after MLK day and we received it two days later. So the delivery was fast and reliable. We would likely have gotten it within 3 days if we hadn't ordered over a holiday weekend. It's so hard to know when passion fruit is good, so we really commend the company for only sending perfect fruit. Every single one was fresh and juicy when we used them a few days after they arrived. They were all a little tart, though, and if we had time, we would have let them ripen a bit longer. The price made it seem like a splurge, but we searched high and low and could not find passion fruit in Western Washington. If you need them for a recipe, we got about 270 grams of pulp (after extracting the seeds) using all but one of the fruits.

These were fresh and shipped pretty fast. However, most of them were not ripe and several were inedible. The ripe ones ( purple and wrinkled) were wonderful, but there were too few of them. Considering this 2 pound bag was $30., I expected them to be mostly ripe. Maybe if they were a third of the price, I would try again. I would not order them again. I bought them to lower my blood pressure. ( My doctor's advice) I also ordered the Cere's juice. It worked great and will keep ordering the juice- I I drink a small glass twice a day.

After several past above expectation purchases this one is as if I ordered from a different seller --- you just lost my business. See picture, this was NOT 2 pounds of fruit I paid for and was advertised. Previously the shipment has included 20-25 ripe passion fruit but this time ONLY 8? Fruit is also GREEN and not ripe; no, this green of fruit will not ripen over time. I cannot imagine a seller boxing and trying to pawn this off to a customer at full price, knowing how it would be received and knowing that the fruit would not be edible. I hope every single reader of this review takes my advice and does not waster their time, nor their money on your false advertising and listing.

Are you skeptical about buying passionfruit online? I was. But I’ve purchased from this company previously, and tried them again when I had a recent passionfruit craving, AND to treat myself for my bday. I am very pleased with the amount and quality...exactly like the fruit I bought and enjoyed when I lived on St. Croix in the VI. Per fruit, at my local grocery store (the fancy one), each fruit can be $3 per IF they are in at all, which is a rare occurrence. But these were delivered quickly and exactly ripened, with just enough wrinkles. Great buy!

I ordered it on December 9, arrived December 15. Package wasn't damaged as some customers climbed. I never ate fresh passion fruit before, I have no idea how good ripe fruit looks, they all looked like dry from the outside but when I touched and it was squeezable, I assumed it was ready and cut it. From the inside it was full and fresh, I took everything out with a teaspoon, it had great flavor but too sour, I don't know, it means it's not ripe and not ready to eat? But I'm afraid in couple of days it can get bad. Today I mixed it with a little bit of sugar, it was really delicious. I liked the mix of sweetness with sourness. Again I don't know if this is the normal taste or I'm eating fruit that is not ready, but I still like it. Will definitely order again
