Sweet granadilla (or sometimes called or spelled Grenadia) is one common name for Passiflora ligularis.
The roundish fruit is orange/yellow colored with small light markings, growing to about 7cm. The outer shell is hard, with a soft padding on the interior. The seeds, which are hard and black, are surrounded by a gelatinous sphere of aromatic transparent pulp. The pulp is the edible part, and has a strong acidic taste.
