Food guide
Passionfruit
Passionfruit is a vibrant, aromatic tropical fruit that offers an exciting sensory experience for babies. Once your baby has mastered basic fruits, the tart and sweet profile of passionfruit is a wonderful way to expand their taste buds.
How to serve at this age
6-9 months: Scoop out the pulp and serve it as a topping for oatmeal or mixed into yogurt. 9-12 months: Offer as a spoonful or mixed into fruit salads for a sensory boost. 12+ months: Serve fresh as a topping for pancakes or as part of a fruit platter.
Nutrition
This fruit is rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C, both of which are powerful antioxidants that support skin health and immune function. It also provides a dose of dietary fiber to help keep your baby's digestion regular.
A note from the editors
Choose passionfruit that is slightly wrinkled; this indicates it is fully ripe and at its sweetest.
Good to know
The seeds are edible and generally safe for babies, but ensure the fruit is ripe for the best flavor and texture. If your baby finds the tartness overwhelming, try mixing the pulp with plain, full-fat Greek yogurt.
