Fresh Passion Fruit Lilikoi [Passiflora Edulis] (2 Pounds)

In short: Excellent product. This is my first order from Melissa’s. I am a passion fruit addict. To be frank, I have an overall winter fruit addiction—passion fruit, figs, persimmons, mandarins, pears, pomegranates. My favorite of all, though, by far is passion fruit. My local Whole Foods has been carrying Pasion Fruit from late summer until November. Then nothing. I have been in withdrawal. Cravings for passion fruit have continued unabated and only worsened. I hesitated ordering them from Amazon, because I wasn’t sure about the quality, and the reviews were mixed. This is a pricey fruit to take a risk on. But my addiction got the better of me. Junkie that I am. In short, these are superb. The service was fast and the packaging great. The fruit arrived fresh. To my delight, the fruit was in different stages of ripeness. You can see from the photos that I am holding the ripest ones—the super wrinkly fruit that look like sharpei puppies—in my hands. I ate those first. The rest I am letting ripen in a bowl under a skylight in my bathroom. It’s the only place with enough sunlight and heat to ripen fruit in the winter.😊 Each day I have 2 or 3 for breakfast. Bliss! As to the fruit: the weight of each pice is delightfully heavy. I immediately noticed a difference between the heft of Melussa’s Passion fruit and the ones I buy from the supermarket. Melissa’s are MUCH heavier by far. Denser fruit yields more sweet flesh on the inside. When I opened them up, I was not disappointed. They are very thick and juicy, almost syrupy, with thick lucious jelly inside. Lots and lots of it. All that a passion fruit addict can desire. Tart and sweet at the same time, but definitely more sweet than tart. The scent is heavenly—perfumed. Perfection. I definitely will be ordering more soon to feed my addiction.

These were the best passionfruit I had seen in a long time!! HUGE and full of juicy pulp. I didn't experience any bad ones from the selection, like some other reviewers had experienced but as they arrived in a normal box. Perhaps if it was left in the heat it would have been a different story as the box was not temp controlled or cooling packs, and I ate them over a period of 3-4 days and they were still good. None were overripe. Perhaps it was the season of purchase too? Well worth it and would purchase again but watch the month I buy in.

I ordered from this vendor because it had high ratings. The fruit we received tasted like sour lemons. Letting it sit a few days did not help. I've had Passion Fruit several times and it is delicious. While the price was a good deal, it wasn't due to the quality. Very Disappointed.

I really like the condition the fruit arrived in; it is very nice—truly lovely—and I will be placing more orders.

Haven't been able to really find passion fruits in any of my local grocery stores or farmers markets so thankfully Amazon sold them. The passion fruits were of decent size and incredibly sweet and slightly tangy. I found myself having to restrain myself from eating the whole bunch. I ordered these several times a few weeks apart and would recommend that people get them during the height of the season because in my latest order (late in season), some of the passion fruits had already begun to mold and so I had to toss a good lot of them, which was really disappointing. Also, the fruits later in the season were much smaller.

The product arrived on time and in great shape. One of the passion fruits was rotten, but that's not bad for a bunch of 15 and it looked fine from the outside. I've bought this brand of passion fruit from Safeway, but they don't carry them year round and they're more expensive at $3-4 each. Melissa's passion fruits are full of pulp/seeds and they're normally sweet if you let them ripen a bit. They actually arrive at different stages of ripeness so I didn't feel rushed to eat them all at the same time. I have already placed multiple orders and the last order arrived two days after I ordered.

This passion fruit is not juicy so extremely light. Each fruit has a spoonful of delicious goodness but it is definitely not the large juicy passion fruit variety you would get in DR. I was amazed how light the package was. One dozen was lighter than a large apple. This is way too expensive for what you get.

The fruits arrived close to being at that perfect ripeness. They were in great condition and I can't wait to order again.
