Tropibelle Passion Fruit — 10 lb No. 2s (≈60 larger fruits)
Hand‑harvested at peak ripeness on our Florida estate, these passion fruits arrive fragrant, glossy, and bursting with honeyed acidity. Each fruit yields intensely aromatic pulp with floral top notes and a silky, tropical finish—ideal for craft cocktails, fine desserts, and artisanal preserves. No. 2 fruit will be blemished, but the juice will be the same.
Flavor and uses
- Flavor profile: Lush, sweet pulp with floral perfume and concentrated tropical sweetness.
- Culinary uses: Perfect for mixology, sorbets, curds, vinaigrettes, glazes, and plated desserts where a bright, elegant citrus note is desired.
- Yield: Approximately 60 medium fruits per-10 lb box; pulp volume remains rich even if skins show natural transit wear.
Shipping and handling
- Same‑day packing: Picked and packed the day of shipment to preserve peak flavor.
- Service: Shipped via FedEx 2‑day; we dispatch Monday through Wednesday to ensure optimal transit times. Orders placed after Wednesday noon ship the following Monday.
- Transit note: Natural respiration may cause slight moisture loss in the skins; this does not diminish pulp quality or juice intensity. A very small number of fruits may be compromised in transit despite careful packing.
Storage and preservation
- Ready to eat: All fruit are ripe on arrival and can be enjoyed immediately.
- Short term: Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper to maintain texture for several days.
- Long term: For best preserved flavor, scoop pulp and freeze in ice cube trays for single‑serve portions; frozen pulp retains aroma and texture for sauces and cocktails.

- Quality care: Each box is inspected and packed full to minimize damage.
- Returns: Due to the perishable nature of fresh fruit, we do not accept returns on fresh produce.
- Customer support: If an unusual shipping issue occurs, contact us and we will review the order promptly.
