Hello there! I am trying to find out what a fruit I remember from my childhood is actually called... it resembles a passion fruit very much - both the plant it grows on and the fruit itself. Instead of a semi-hard skin, this fruit has a soft, velvety skin that is bright orange. The inside is also similar to passion fruit - only the seeds are wrapped in a light blue sticky goo, and the seeds are somewhat bigger... We had one of there plants in our garden in Tanzania, but I have no idea what it is called. Please help. Thanks Tmbarfod@hotmail.com
