Wrinkly exotic fruit. Oval purple passion fruit on the left, oblong star shaped starfruit on the right.
And this is how they appear when you cut them up. The starfruit have hard seeds in the middle like an apple that we did not eat. We thought it had a slight pear taste and was crunchy like an apple. The passion fruit has a unique taste all its own-slightly like perfume with a tangy bite. You eat the seeds and that yellow pulp around the seeds and the juice is delicious. The seeds are crunchy and great as a topping. Surprisingly, passion fruit seeds are high in dietary fiber and they also have a fairly med-high phosphorus content. And yes, this is what a ripe passion fruit should look like-wrinkled outer skin with the pulp and seeds coming away from the bitter rind on the inside.
