Passion Fruit Powder

Passion Fruit Powder is quite different from Passion Flower Powder. Instead of the leaves/flowers, it’s made from the fruit pulp of Passiflora edulis (the edible passion fruit). The pulp is usually freeze-dried or spray-dried and then ground into powder, which preserves most of the nutrients and the tropical, tangy flavor.
