The rough purple or yellow outside of passion fruit hides a wealth of taste inside. Cracking open this little, round fruit reveals a profusion of yellow-orange pulp loaded with tasty black seeds. Any fruit salad gains zesty power from the very sour yet sweet taste of the pulp. Passion fruit makes a great contrast of flavours when combined with rambout; its intense tanginess accentuates the soft sweetness of rambout. Cut passion fruit in half and then scoop out the pulp and seeds to ready it for your salad. The seeds make your salad nice crunch and are totally edible. Often described as a blend of citrus, guava, and pineapple, passion fruit's distinctive taste character gives your fruit salad a tropical depth few other fruits can equal. Passion fruit is, nutritionally, a great source of antioxidants, vitamin C, and fibre. Polyphenols, which have been connected to several health advantages, abound as well. Choose passion fruits based on their weight relative to their size and their somewhat wrinkled skin, which denotes ripeness. Your salad's ideal mix of sweet and sour tastes comes from the passion fruit and rambutan. The brilliant yellow pulp of the passion fruit also provides a lovely colour contrast to the white meat of the ramboutan, so enhancing the appearance and taste value of your salad. Every mouthful of this combo will take your taste receptors to a tropical paradise.
