Passion Fruit Juice

Passion Fruit is a Savoury tasted fruit. I came to know about this fruit very recently. I saw this plant hanging full of  fruits on its creepers in Dr. Khadar 's house and clinic in Mysore. Here I must mention Dr. Khadar who is a homeopathy Doctor, prepares medicine, does the organic farming and grows healthy grains like, millet, little millet. fox tail millet, finger millet and you can get almost all organic farmed vegetables and fruits.

Ready to serve Passion Fruit Juice.

Dr. Khadar advices people not to take fast food which is completely harmful to your body. and to practice eating the Complete Healthy Grains  that is " All kind of Millets " in your daily diet. He is 100% correct according to me. You all too may agree with my opinion right? ...Please practice and make use of Millets and live Strong and Healthy.

Though I saw Passion Fruit in Dr. Khadar's Clinic I did not get a chance to pluck or taste the fruit. My close friend Usha Suresh Cukkemane who took us to clinic said, that she has tasted the fruit and it is good for preparing juice.Understood the concept and kept it in mind. This time when we visited Mr. Sathish Hande who lives In Mysore (one of our close family friend),and is also an engineer by profession, hard working agriculturist. He grows lots of vegetables and fruits in Organic style and is very much dedicated. When we were returning from his house he packed some fruits for us along with Papaya and tomatoes grown in his farm. This way we got these Passion Fruits and I have given some fruits to my brother and my in laws house too, since they too are new to this passion fruit.
