The sweet granadilla is the common species of Passiflora ranging from central Mexico through Central America and western South America, through western Bolivia to south-central Peru.

OBS

The epicarp is a hard sclerophyllous tissue that gives the [sweet granadilla] fruit a firm texture and brittle nature and will crack rather than wrinkle as yellow [or purple] passionfruit does when it ripens or pressure is applied.

OBS

yellow passionfruit: common name also used to refer to the species Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa.

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.

OBS

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.

Le fruit de la grenadille jaune, qui a une peau jaune clair à jaune doré, est plus gros que celui de la grenadille. Il est également plus acide, et selon les amateurs, moins parfumé, ce qui le destine plus en général à la transformation en jus.

OBS

Ne pas confondre avec Passiflora ligularis.
