Lilikoi is perhaps of the most classic of Hawaiian flavors. You will find it in POG (Passionfruit, Orange, Guava drink), in cheesecake, in amazing cocktails and topping Haupia pudding. Hawaiian yellow passionfruit is the best flavored. It grows outside in coastal California and with protection in Northern California, and it needs shady protection in low desert areas like Arizona. The passion fruit also has amazing flowers, named for Christian symbolism. Great for making jam, jellies, and butter.
