Storage Tips
Store whole passionfruit at room temperature until ripe, which is indicated by wrinkled skin. Once ripe, refrigerate in a sealed container or plastic bag to maintain freshness for up to one week. If you have scooped out the pulp, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze it for longer storage. Avoid exposing the fruit to direct sunlight or excessive heat to preserve its flavor and texture.
