Granadilla is a round, orange fruit with a hard, slightly spongy skin. The pulp is gelatinous, grey in color with small, black, edible seeds and an exquisite flavor.
To consume a granadilla, carefully break the shell with your hand or against a hard surface, ensuring that the pulp does not spill out. Then consume the pulp with a spoon. Granadilla can be used to prepare salads, fruit cocktails or desserts. The skin is not edible.
