Once washed, place the passion fruit on a cutting board and slice it in half with a knife. The skin may be tough, and depending on how ripe it is, some juice may gush out.
Using a spoon, scoop the pulp and seeds from both halves of the opened fruit and place them in a small bowl. The seeds are perfectly edible and can add a pleasant crunch.
For a smooth consistency, strain the seeds with a mesh strainer. The pulp is a bit gelatinous, so you may need to use the back of the spoon to push the juice through the strainer.
The pulp can be added to sweet and savory meals such as salads or chicken. Try it in a cocktail like passion fruit caipirinha or as a sweet treat like passion fruit caramels.
