Ainsi, le fruit de la passion pourpre (Passiflora edulis Sims) est sans aucun doute le plus présent sur les marchés européens. Le fruit de la passion jaune (Passiflora edulis flavicarpa) est moins fréquent et son commerce semble avoir diminué ces dernières années. Quant à la grenadille de montagne (Passiflora ligularis), son créneau commercial est peu important en termes de volumes mais régulier. 4, record 1, French, - grenadille%20sucr%C3%A9e

À ne pas confondre avec Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa (fruit de la passion jaune) et Passiflora edulis (grenadille pourpre, communément appelé fruit de la passion). Principales différences : la peau ne se fripe pas, elle est plus coriace et luisante et le fruit est un peu plus gros. 6, record 1, French, - grenadille%20sucr%C3%A9e
