    Why we ❤️ it

    We Dominicans would never turn down a cold, frosty glass of creamy Batida de Granadillo, one of our favorite milkshakes. Having so many great fruits to choose from is one of the greatest advantages of being a tropical country.

    Granadillo fruit and benefits

    If to you it looks a bit like a giant passionfruit, it's no coincidence: This large fruit (grows up to 10 inches in length) is related to passionfruit. Its scientific name is Passiflora quadrangularis, and it's commonly used for shakes in the Dominican Republic, where it grows. It can also be made as a dulce en almíbar.

    Granadillo (In English giant granadilla or granadilla) has a slightly sour (much more gentle than passionfruit) flesh, with a pear-like texture, very aromatic and mildly sweet.

    Granadillo is rich in antioxidants, packs a fair amount of phosphorus and a small amount of calcium.

    About this recipe

    This recipe has little variation from home to home, but you can add less or more sugar, to taste, and use any other sweetener you like, and while it would change its flavor, the flavor of granadilla would still shine through.
