Passion Fruit

Passion fruit is a tropical fruit native to South America, known for its unique sweet and tart flavor. The fruit has a tough outer rind and a juicy, seed-filled pulp inside. It is typically consumed fresh, juiced, or used as a flavoring in various food products.

Passion fruit is primarily used as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages due to its distinct tropical taste. It is commonly found in fruit juices, nectars, smoothies, ice creams, yogurts, and desserts. It can also be used in sauces, marinades, and baked goods to add a fruity note.

Passion fruit is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. JECFA has evaluated passion fruit and found no safety concerns at typical consumption levels. No specific upper intake limits have been set by regulatory bodies for passion fruit consumption.
