Default Hawaiian Passionfruit


No, Kylie....Banana Passionfruit are elongated and Hawaiian's are round.
They looked like Panama Red (which I've discovered they are related
to) but the skin is a yellow/green. Pulp is quite pale, very very sweet
and not at all acidic. Really lovely tasting and that's why I want
one!! LOL

The fruit I ate was a yellow skinned variety and the pulp was quite pale,
not at all bright yellow like the black skinned fruit I normally buy. It
wasn't acidic either, in fact quite sweet and when I enquired was told it
was a 'Hawaiian'. Unfortunately they didn't know the botanical name for
the variety, which of course, I realise would have made things much
easier.

Skin-colour is not important, I really liked the flavour of the pulp.

is it the kind known as "banana passionfruit"?
