FEATURE IN SEASON FACTS & TIPS? Pick plump: Wrinkly doesn’t mean ripe. Go for plump, heavy passionfruit. Bag it: With protective skin they don’t spoil easily but to make them last longer, keep them in a plastic bag in the fridge. It stops them from dehydrating, they’ll last a month! Get passionate about health: Passionfruit is a good source of fibre, a source of vitamin C and low in energy - only 55 kilojoules per serve! Passionfruit At its best: Aussie Passionfruit for Autumn and Winter. An unexpected abundance of sweet passionfruit is hitting stores right now, giving Aussies an early treat ahead of the traditional winter peak. Thanks to plenty of warm and humid days earlier this year, passionfruits are popping off the vines, resulting in a consistent flow of excellent quality fruit. Nick Hornery, a second-generation <strong>Australian</strong> passionfruit grower from NSW, is pleased that the influx means Aussies can keep enjoying passionfruit well into the cooler months. “We’ve been busy picking around 15,000 passionfruits a day on average. Our vines are flush with flowers, and we’re expecting a great winter crop with a slightly tangier taste.” Nick is one of 190 passionfruit farmers in Australia who work seven days a week to deliver top quality fruit to store shelves around the country. Nick enlists a team of locals to help collect the fruit and has help from his family, including his four-year-old son Gus, who loves tractor rides around the farm. Although it is available all year round, passionfruit experiences a peak in summer and winter. With over 15 years in the passionfruit industry, Nick shares his top tips to enjoy this sweet treat during this peak season. Picking and storing your fruit • Pick ripe fruit that is plump, smooth and heavy for its size – wrinkly does not mean ripe! • Passionfruit lasts up to one month in the fridge and two weeks in the fruit bowl – keep them in a plastic bag to maximise freshness. Add passionfruit to a cheese platter in place of quince paste for a touch of sweetness. • Add passionfruit to classic baked desserts for a fragrant twist. Mix into tarts, pudding, slices or icing, or drizzle over cheesecake or pavlova. • Add passionfruit to your morning smoothie or on top of your morning porridge for a fibre boost.

Scoop passionfruit onto cereal, enjoy with yoghurt, add to desserts or mix it into your banana smoothie to kick start your day. Delicious dressing: Try adding passionfruit to a traditional balsamic and olive oil dressing for a tasty, tangy change. Strain for seedless: If the black edible seeds don’t take your fancy and you’d prefer passionfruit pulp, simply strain the seeds out. Irresistible icy poles: For a refreshing summer treat, freeze passion fruit pulp in ice trays or popsicle moulds. Sweet treat passion: Make simple desserts more exotic. Add to ice cream, spoon onto on a sponge cake or use on a cheese platter in place of quince paste. Perfect pairings: Passionfruit goes well with fish, pork, coconut milk, vanilla, honey, banana, mango and pastry. Delectable drinks: The liquid nature of passionfruit pulp makes it perfect for adding to beverage for a tangy twist. Try making a passionfruit Caprioska by mixing vodka, lime and passionfruit. Passionate all year round: Passionfruit is available year round but there are two supply peaks in summer (December – February) and winter (<strong>June</strong> – August).
Pineapple Another great Aussie favourite is the Pineapple, not many know it as a Winter Fruit but it thrives in the tropical states through Winter. Pineapples are an excellent source of vitamin C and manganese, which is good for bone health. They are also a good source of thiamin, magnesium and vitamin B6. Pineapples contain fibre and bromelain, which makes them a terrific food for gut health. You can store chopped pineapple in an airtight container in the fridge for up to six days and in the freezer for up to six months. Select fruit that feels heavy for its size and check it doesn’t have soft spots or bruises. If it has a top, the leaves should be fresh and green.
