1. Submerge your ripe passion fruits in cold water to remove any dirt. Toss the fruits around in the water for 1-2 minutes to loosen any grime. The outer shell of the passion fruit protects the fruit when it falls from the fruit tree, but it also is notorious for retaining dirt and small bugs. To properly soak the fruit, fill your kitchen sink, a large bowl, or basin with cold water. For stubborn dirt particles, rinse the fruit under running cold water after it has soaked, and use your fingers to gently rub the shell clean. Make sure the passion fruit is completely dry before attempting to cut into the sell. Wet shells can be slippery.
2. Press around the shell of the passion fruit to check it for soft spots. The shells of ripe passion fruits should feel a bit tender, but firm overall. A couple of small soft spots on the shell should not raise any concern, but large patches of soft spots could mean that the fruit inside of the shell is moldy. Discard any passion fruit that has large soft spots. Ripe passion fruits will be plump or feel heavy, and have slightly wrinkled skin.
3. Place a passion fruit on a cutting board that can retain liquid. Cutting into the passion fruit can cause a lot of the juice to press out. Using a flat cutting board will not only waste this juice but also make a mess of your workstation. If you do not have a cutting board that is designed to catch liquids, you can alternatively use a large platter or plate. Just make sure to place a wet paper towel or a rag underneath the platter to keep it from slipping while you cut on it.
4. Use a sharp or serrated knife to cut through the shell of the fruit. The two most common ways are to cut it in half or to cut about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of an end off. Cutting the fruit in half means you will have to remove the pulp twice, but it will also make it easier for you to examine the pulp and check for mold. Pick the cutting technique that works best for you. Be careful when cutting through the shell, and have a firm grip on it to prevent it from rolling underneath the pressure of the knife.
