Gulupa is the purple passion fruit European buyers mean when they say passion fruit, and Colombia is its main origin. The crop has a main window in the Northern Hemisphere spring and a second, smaller one in the autumn.
It is a fruit that looks worse than it is: the skin wrinkles as it loses moisture, which reads as age to a buyer even when the pulp is perfect. That makes humidity control in transit as important as temperature, and it is the main reason sea programmes took as long as they did to work.
