Can you eat the skin of a passion fruit?

Generally speaking, the peel of passion fruit is edible, but should be consumed in moderation. Detailed explanation is as follows:

The peel of fresh passion fruit contains a certain amount of dietary fiber, which can help promote intestinal motility. When consumed together with the pulp, it can also enrich the texture and provide a unique flavor. The peel also contains small amounts of vitamins and phytochemicals. After thoroughly washing, eating the peel in moderation can reduce nutritional waste and supply additional nutrients to the body. However, the texture of the passion fruit peel tends to be tough, and excessive consumption may increase the burden on digestion; therefore, intake should be controlled.

Before consuming passion fruit peel, it should be repeatedly rinsed with running water to remove any possible surface dust or pesticide residues. If the peel is damaged or has mold spots, it should be discarded directly. Only undamaged peels should be selected. When consuming, it is recommended to cut the peel into small pieces and steep or mix it with the pulp and honey, avoiding chewing large amounts of raw peel directly. Individuals with weak gastrointestinal function, those prone to bloating, or those sensitive to peels should initially try a small amount when first consuming it, observing whether any discomfort occurs. If digestive discomfort arises, the intake of peel should be reduced or discontinued.
