How to store
You can store granadilla out of the fridge for about a week, if it is not already wrinkled. The fruit will get ripe outside the fridge and becomes the most delicious when it is slightly wrinkled.
How to eat
Cut the fruit in half and scoop the seeds out with a spoon. You cannot eat the thick skin, but the pulp and seeds are delicious. They taste great in a dressing, with ice cream or with yogurt.
