FRUIT
Special mention fruit......
PASSIONFRUIT are highly recommended. Like most tropical fruit these are best to eat when they start to look like they are going off. I forgot about a couple and found them in the bottom of my fruit bowl - very wrinkling, skin starting to sink in and forming dark spots. On opening they were sweet and full of pulp.
