What is this Mystery Fruit???
In our continuing quest to try new fruits and veggies we picked up a gorgeous orange fruit that we had no clue as to what it was…even the produce guy was confused because he told us it was a persimmons but I’m pretty sure it isn’t. We spent some time on Google trying to find it but didn’t have any luck. So we decided to just cut it open and give it a try! It was hard and almost crunchy to cut through!
We were really surprised to see the inside!!!!!
It looked a bit like the Kiwano fruit we tried last week so we ate them the same way! We grabbed some with our fingertips and enjoyed the flesh around the seeds. It tasted AMAZING…very fruity like a mix of citrus with sweet strawberry!!! It was messy and a lot of work but it was so worth it!
If you know what this fruit is leave a comment and let us know what we ate

Yum!! What you had was a golden passion fruit or Hawaiian yellow lilikoi fruit! I remember these from my honeymoon, saw it in many dishes and in the farmers markets.

Definitely passion fruit. We had these growing everywhere when I was growing up in the Virgin Islands. The seeds DO look alien, but they taste great! Have you ever had freshly-made passion fruit juice (not the store-bought stuff). It’s great!
