Fresh Passion Fruit (2lb)

We ordered the 2-lb box of passion fruit from Jiro's Garden on the Friday before MLK weekend. It was shipped the Tuesday after MLK day and we received it two days later. So the delivery was fast and reliable. We would likely have gotten it within 3 days if we hadn't ordered over a holiday weekend. It's so hard to know when passion fruit is good, so we really commend the company for only sending perfect fruit. Every single one was fresh and juicy when we used them a few days after they arrived. They were all a little tart, though, and if we had time, we would have let them ripen a bit longer. The price made it seem like a splurge, but we searched high and low and could not find passion fruit in Western Washington. If you need them for a recipe, we got about 270 grams of pulp (after extracting the seeds) using all but one of the fruits.

This package was expected between 6/24-7/01. After several messages sent to seller we received it on 7/17. Passion fruit was very bitter.

Are you skeptical about buying passionfruit online? I was. But I’ve purchased from this company previously, and tried them again when I had a recent passionfruit craving, AND to treat myself for my bday. I am very pleased with the amount and quality...exactly like the fruit I bought and enjoyed when I lived on St. Croix in the VI. Per fruit, at my local grocery store (the fancy one), each fruit can be $3 per IF they are in at all, which is a rare occurrence. But these were delivered quickly and exactly ripened, with just enough wrinkles. Great buy!

I fell in love with passion fruit at a breakfast buffet in Sydney AU. At the time, I didn't appreciate their look, but I thought I'd be brave and try one and then went back and took all of them off the fruit tray. Ever since then, I've been searching for passion fruit at home. The few times I do find them, they cost $3-4 a piece. I buy them anyway. I even bought a vine that I babied for two years, watching it take over every other plant in reach while only giving up four fruit in two years (it died when I tried to prune it back -- apparently passion fruit vines like to roam free). When I saw I could get them through Amazon (Tropical), I figured I'd give it a try despite the reviews complaining about the fruits' freshness, etc. I got my delivery the other day (mine weren't packed with the vines, just wadded up paper) and the only thing that would make me happier is if they weren't so expensive. I got only eight fruit -- but they are HUGE -- easily twice the size of any I've seen before. And I got 2 lbs as advertised. I let them get a little wrinkly and then just cut them in half and eat the flesh and seeds with a spoon. So far I've only eaten one, and it was delicious, exactly what I've been craving. Yes, they're definitely a luxury, but I will be ordering again, at least every once in awhile.

Product tasted good - fresh fruit. Got within the timeframe promised. Good service. I was scared when I first opened it, though (I removed the padding then took a picture). But, the product is fresh. Kind of expensive for what you get. I received 1.7 lbs of fruit. Some were more filled with the good filling in it than others. But, it’s nature. :)

After several past above expectation purchases this one is as if I ordered from a different seller --- you just lost my business. See picture, this was NOT 2 pounds of fruit I paid for and was advertised. Previously the shipment has included 20-25 ripe passion fruit but this time ONLY 8? Fruit is also GREEN and not ripe; no, this green of fruit will not ripen over time. I cannot imagine a seller boxing and trying to pawn this off to a customer at full price, knowing how it would be received and knowing that the fruit would not be edible. I hope every single reader of this review takes my advice and does not waster their time, nor their money on your false advertising and listing.

I think it's only fair to begin this review by saying that I'm a passionfruit snob. I had a bush on my property in PR and was lucky enough to pick and eat them fresh daily. I'm beyond impressed at how great these were! The box came packed full (27 fruits in all!) and well ventilated. The fruits were the perfect ripeness. Quality was excellent. They disappeared so fast I didn't even get a chance to snap a pic of my box. I'm glad I did my research and ordered from this seller. I absolutely will order from them again!

I ordered it on December 9, arrived December 15. Package wasn't damaged as some customers climbed. I never ate fresh passion fruit before, I have no idea how good ripe fruit looks, they all looked like dry from the outside but when I touched and it was squeezable, I assumed it was ready and cut it. From the inside it was full and fresh, I took everything out with a teaspoon, it had great flavor but too sour, I don't know, it means it's not ripe and not ready to eat? But I'm afraid in couple of days it can get bad. Today I mixed it with a little bit of sugar, it was really delicious. I liked the mix of sweetness with sourness. Again I don't know if this is the normal taste or I'm eating fruit that is not ready, but I still like it. Will definitely order again
