Passion Fruit

Yesterday while I was at Fairway Market I checked out the many exotic fruits and vegetables they have. I found some passion fruit and decided I would give it a try. I had never had a passion fruit before this experience but I had had some passion fruit juice mixed with some other juices.

When I decided to sit down and eat my passion fruit, I first tried to just bite into it (like I would a plum). I stopped immediately when I discovered how hard and tough the outer layer is. I then googled “how to eat a passion fruit” and learned that the hard and tough outer is generally not eaten (it is also very bitter). I then proceed to scoop out the pulp and seeds and eat that. The taste was very pleasant and mildly sweet. The seeds were as expected crunchy but good. I’m not sure if those are usually eaten or not. Together and pulp and seeds amounted to only a few teaspoons of food.

Does anyone know of a way that the tough skin can be eaten? Perhaps baked in some kind of sweet/tart bread?

Thanks
