Also known as banana passion fruit, curuba is a delicious tropical fruit with a taste similar to passion fruit. Grown in South America, you can tell it’s ripe when the skin is slightly shrivelled.
It’s often used to flavour desserts like cakes and meringues, but it also makes delicious sauces and drinks, like this smoothie from My Colombian Cocina.
Really simple to make, this is a quick, refreshing way to make the most of this tasty fruit.
