One fruit I particularly like but don't see much in the UK shops is
grenadilla (is there an English name?). Divine! Lidl (of all places!)
was selling them a while back...


Grenadilla is one of several species of Passion fruit

So I see, but when I think of passion fruit (at least what goes by that
name here) it's quite different.


There are dozens of different edible varieties cultivated for their
fruit, all different shapes and sizes. the ones we get in supermarkets
are the ones that are easiest to transport and store. We are just eating
our way through the last of the banana passion fruits from P
antioquiensis, sadly much of the fruit still green and outside at the
time of the frost will not ripen, but we still have some indoor fruits to
come. But they only last a few days off the plant
