Lilikoi juice

While on this topic, I recently heard the passion fruit seeds will accumulate a mild toxin over the years in your body. Any truth to this?

I know the SKINS have a trace amount of cyanogenic glycosides (a cyanide source).

The pulp and seeds are edible. Passion fruit seeds have a fatty acids, including linoleic acid (comprising approximately 70% of the fatty acid content), oleic, palmitic, stearic, and alpha-linolenic acids.

I rather leave out the seeds. A little too much roughage with all that it implies.

Enjoy! This season was very good. Froze some pure juice for later this winter.

Aloha. JMO.

We're picking ripe yellow and purple lilikoi right now and I like it in just about everything. My wife made homemade fig bars with lilikoi yesterday and I like to put it in yogurt for a snack.

I feed the seeds to our chickens. Is there such thing as lilikoi eggs? We probably shouldn't compost the skins though if they contain cyanide!

Does anybody know a lilikoi jelly recipe that replaces all that sugar with natural stevia or agave or honey? Not sure if replacing sugar with something fluid like agave or honey would work.

Last nigh made a chicken satay with a marinade made with seed-in lilikoi pulp, the juice from rangpur and lime (all from our garden), and diced local ginger...

the lilikoi seeds were a combo of a little crunch & a little pepper...not a bad addition to a chicken satay...and the lilikoi flavor overtones were pretty good...

SBH - not sure how the other sweeteners would effect the jelling factor of lilikoi, if adding pectin check both the recommendation of the pectin (some are no-sugar formulas) and the net for more info...

I think there is pectin made for use without sugar. (for diabetics and people who don't use sugar) I don't know how it would work with liquid sweetener. If it doesn't set, we just use it as syrup on pancakes and such. Yum. Made 3 batches of jelly today from the garden, Hawaiian Chili Pepper, White Pineapple and Lilikoi. It captures the flavor of the fruit set or not.
