Fruit

Skin

Passion fruit skin is the thick, leathery outer shell—usually discarded after the pulp is scooped. It is not eaten like fruit peel; it is tough, bitter, and mainly protective. Halved empty shells can serve as natural cups for the pulp, ice cream, or sorbet at the table. Compost shells after use, or rinse and dry halves as edible-looking serving vessels for parties. Do not expect crackling or stock enrichment from this rind; it is structural packaging for the aromatic interior, not a culinary fat source.
