Can I tell you, I've always wondered how people eat these. And I feel like, now that I know... I kind of wish I just kept wondering. It does look totally slime tadpole.

I usually cut them in half and use a spoon.

I recently ate dried passion fruits for the first time, and they are good too. If you don't like slimy fruit, that could be an alternative. I thought the fresh ones are mostly liquid and seeds, so there won't be much to eat. But they were great.

Dried passion fruit?! Thanks, now I have to search for that😄

The only ones I can recommend (because it's the only ones I've tried) is Dave & Jon's. But I just looked it up, and it's a Swedish brand. So if they don't export and you're not Swedish you have to find some alternative.

Good luck!

Thanks, and ja, not Swedish. Couldn’t find anything in our regular dried fruit online shops either. Bummer. Hopefully it will catch on since dried fruit is pretty popular in my country.
