going to be with passion fruit. i am passionate about passion fruit. get a spoon and dig it out and enjoy it. just like this out of hand. and the smell, ah! just beautiful. selection and storage is very important. when you buy them, put this down right here, you want to make sure it has a slight shrivel right here. if they are smooth, they're not that ripe. the more shrivel, they are not the most beautiful but when you cut them open they are. what you want to do make sure it's heavy. that means it's a lot of passion fruit inside it. when you bring them home, store them in a cool, dry place but not in the refrigerator. passion fruit, and they're also great for us. ah! so good. and i'm tony tantillo, your fresh grocer. and always remember to eat fresh and stay healthy. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
