Things You'll Need
Knife
Spoon
Examine the passion flower fruit's skin. Passion fruit is ripe when the skin is crinkled, so try to choose passion fruit that has crinkled skin. Allow passion fruit with smooth skin to ripen before using.
Cut the passion fruit in half. Be careful not to accidentally cut yourself; because the fruit is round, you must hold the fruit firmly as you slice it in two.
Spoon out the pulp in the center of the fruit.
Eat the pulp raw. Food Reference suggests spooning the raw fruit over ice cream. It can also be used in preserves. If desired, press the fruit through a strainer or a cheesecloth to remove the seeds.
