Passiflora ligularis fruit from Colombia. A tough but brittle shell with slightly unattractive grey pulp. Mark Cooper, from California, and others, report that it is one of the tastiest fruit. In UK however, where it is imported and sold in supermarkets as Granadilla or 'Golden Passion Fruit', it is variable & can sometimes be dull and insipid, but at its best is still very pleasant. It has a nice perfumed grape like aroma and seems far less acidic than P. edulis. Despite the hard shell it does not keep that well. It is also very expensive in UK. Martin Murray reports that P. ligularis is farmed in Costa Rica at about 1400 metres upwards. Daytime temperature approx 30°C and nighttime 20°C. Soil wet, humidity high, and at some times of the year fed with citrus fertilizer (to increase fruit acidity and improve taste) and cattle manure. He describes the taste as very good and grape like. |
