LIVE PASSIONATELY!

You just couldn’t have an Aussie pav

without the sweet and tangy taste

of passionfruit! It’s the key ingredient

in iconic warm-weather desserts, and

we’re spoilt for choice this summer

with this fragrant fruit now at its peak.

They don’t just taste good — they’re

an excellent source of fibre, with two

fruits providing 20 per cent of your

daily needs. The tropical colour of

passionfruit means it’s also rich in

the antioxidant, beta-carotene, for

both healthy skin and eyes.

Tantalise your taste buds with these

delicious ideas using passionfruit:

1

Stir passionfruit pulp through

soda water, lime and ice for a

thirst-quenching summer drink.

2

Top a slice of fruit toast

with ricotta, banana and

a drizzle of passionfruit.

3

Use passionfruit as

a tangy glaze for

meat or seafood —

the pulp contains

enzymes that

tenderise meat.

The sweet tangy taste

of passionfruit makes it

ideal for summer drinks
