Description

Fresh Grenadillo Fruit is a whole fresh grenadillo – a close relative of passion fruit with a hard, orange-yellow shell and a sweet, aromatic pulp inside. The grenadillo has a more mellow, sweeter character than passion fruit. As a result, it suits those who find passion fruit too acidic and works equally well in both sweet and savoury preparations. Furthermore, the hard shell cracks open cleanly to reveal fragrant, seed-filled pulp similar to passion fruit. In particular, the grenadillo makes an outstanding fresh juice with a uniquely aromatic, floral character.

About Fresh Grenadillo Fruit

We source our fruit from specialist growers and importers across Britain, Europe and beyond. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, ripeness and provenance. As a result, the fruit we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise varieties with genuine character over commodity produce bred purely for shelf life and appearance. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or resilience in transit. However, they require more careful handling and a shorter supply chain. In particular, the finest fruit is always seasonal – it arrives at its peak and disappears just as quickly. Additionally, we work only with suppliers who understand this. A short supply chain from orchard or grove to your door makes all the difference. That is why Fresh Grenadillo Fruit from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Grenadillo Fruit From Us

Cooking and eating with genuinely fine fruit transforms everyday preparations. In contrast to commodity fruit, these varieties carry flavour, aroma and character that rewards both simple eating and careful cooking. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, quality fruit always speaks for itself. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you receive fruit at its prime. However, even the finest fruit needs a little attention. In particular, most fruit is best stored at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerated only once it reaches the right stage. Moreover, cold storage suppresses both aroma and flavour. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you buy matters. That is why we choose these fruits so carefully.

How to Use Fresh Grenadillo Fruit

To get the very best from Fresh Grenadillo Fruit:

  • Crack the hard shell by pressing firmly with both thumbs – the shell splits cleanly in two.
  • Scoop the pulp and seeds and eat as they are or press through a sieve for a smooth juice.
  • Furthermore, fresh grenadillo makes an outstanding sorbet or granita with a little sugar and lime.
  • Additionally, spoon over a panna cotta, yoghurt or ice cream for a fragrant tropical topping.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Grenadillo Fruit pairs beautifully with:

  • Lime juice, coconut cream and mint for a simple tropical dessert
  • Panna cotta, yoghurt or good vanilla ice cream alongside
  • A glass of Prosecco, Champagne or a tropical cocktail alongside
  • Tropical fruits – mango, passion fruit and pineapple – in a fruit salad

Storage: Store at room temperature until fully ripe. Once ripe, use immediately or refrigerate for one to two days. Furthermore, tropical fruit is best enjoyed at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge. However, some varieties, such as mangosteen and rambutan, are best used within a day or two of delivery for peak quality. Delivered at the right stage and ready to enjoy.

However you enjoy it, Fresh Grenadillo Fruit brings a depth of flavour and quality that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, the finest seasonal fruit is one of the great pleasures of the table.
