Delicious little parcels. Asides Passionfruits are an Aussie favourite for growing and eating. But even if you have a vine in your backyard, you may not know exactly how or when to pick passionfruit for the best results. It all comes down to making sure the fruit is ripe, as it won’t do much ripening once it’s picked. You will know passion fruit is ripe when the fruits are plump, have a slight give, and are fully coloured, either dark purple or dark yellow, orange or red.
