Fruit
Seeds
Passion fruit seeds are the small, dark, crunchy seeds suspended in the pulp. They are edible and contribute snap and a mild nutty note; many recipes keep them for texture, while fine sauces and clear cocktails strain them out. Pressing yields a specialty oil used in cosmetics more than in everyday cooking. Leave seeds in spooned pulp for pavlova and fruit salads; sieve for silk-smooth curds and jellies. Rinsed seeds can be dried for garnish, though most home cooks simply use pulp as harvested. They are not a spice seed in the peppercorn sense—flavour lives mainly in the surrounding juice.
