Passionfruit NFC Juice or Passionfruit Juice Concentrate
The passion fruit or Maracuja can be a round or oval shaped fruit about 6-12cm in diameter. The skin is thick and waxy and helps prevent desiccation. In terms of colour, Passion fruit is yellow or dark purple at maturity and has a soft to firm, juicy interior filled with numerous seeds. The fruit can be grown to eat or for its juice, which is often added to other fruit juices to enhance the aroma due to due its exceptional taste and flavour.
Whilst Passion fruit was native to Brazil, main production areas are Ecuador, Colombia and Peru. We source all of our Passionfruit from Ecuador and so quality is both consistent and high.
The two types of passion fruit have clearly differing exterior appearances. The bright yellow variety of passion fruit, which is also known as the Golden Passion fruit, can grow up to the size of a grapefruit, has a smooth, glossy, light and airy rind. This generally is used for industrial drinks production. The dark purple passion fruit is the size of a lemon and is used mainly for fresh fruit.

Interesting Facts
- When the Spanish missionaries first saw the flowers of the passion fruit in the jungle of South America they interpreted them as a divine inspiration to convert the Indians to Christianity as quickly as possible.
- The yellow passion fruit is mainly used for industrial purposes, such as the production of fruit drinks. The purple variety is less suitable for fruit drinks but is mostly imported in the Western countries as fresh fruit.
