Having burned the pizza I was hungry not too long after dinner so I went looking for a snack.There, on one of the shelves, was a can of some kind of passion fruit juice or pulp that I decided to try.
It was sweet but not too much after adding ice and it tasted pretty much like the fresh fruit would.
As I look to into the glass and at all the seeds floating happily in the yellow goo I thought to myself "this has to be good for your health. So I checked and it really is:
