Available in pink and yellow, the passion fruit's seeds are crunchy and covered in a sweet slimy film. Passion fruit is a beneficial fruit with a healthful nutrition profile.

This Okinawan citrus fruit called shekwasha (flat lemon) in Japanese is used like such other citrus fruits as kabosu, yuzu, and lime, but is tarter. It's consumed as juice and mixed with spirits.
