Passion fruit saved by a single hanging net, Chen Zhidong shares the sweetest way to eat it

Just a few years ago, passion fruit was still a cheap fruit, costing 20 or 30 yuan per jin, but in the past year or two, a 10-jin box of home-delivered passion fruit often costs 800 or even over a thousand yuan, and it has even become popular from Taiwan, China to South Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. Why did passion fruit suddenly turn its fortunes around? The answer is that a single hanging net saved the passion fruit.

To understand why a single hanging net could save the passion fruit, we must first talk about the principle behind its sweet-and-sour taste. "How do you eat passion fruit?" Cut it in half with a knife? Tear it open with your hands? Scoop it out with a spoon? Or suck it straight with your mouth? Do you bite the seeds open? I originally thought how you eat passion fruit was just a matter of personal habit, but unexpectedly, there is a lot of knowledge behind it.

Do you want your passion fruit sweet or sweet-and-sour? The answer is here

At the "Passion Fruit Grand Depot" farm on Dapingding in Puli, Nantou, second-generation owner Cai Yonghong said while tearing open a passion fruit with his hands that the nature of passion fruit is to turn sour when exposed to low temperatures, and once the flesh separates it also begins to release fruit acid; more than half an hour after being cut open, passion fruit becomes sweet-and-sour.

Therefore, when buying passion fruit, you must shake it; those with a shaking feeling will be sour, while those that make no sound when shaken are usually sweet. So when buying, avoid bumps, and after getting home absolutely do not refrigerate them, and try to finish eating them within 10 days. If you like them sweet, the best method is to tear one open with your hands and immediately suck it with your mouth, letting the seeds slide down your throat together, as this is the sweetest.

If you like them sweet-and-sour, you can cut them with a knife, scoop them with a spoon, and wait half an hour after cutting before eating; by then the fruit acid begins to release, and the passion fruit will be both sweet and sour.
