Trader Joe's is helping you add a tropical twist to your summer smoothies with its new Cubes of Seedless Passion Fruit Puree.
Following a slew of new passion fruit-infused products, Trader Joe's has now added passion fruit puree to its frozen fruit lineup. Just as the name suggests, the new Cubes of Seedless Passion Fruit Puree consist of ripe passion fruit that's been harvested, pressed, strained to remove the seeds, and frozen into a convenient cube format. The passion fruit comes from Vietnam and boasts the vibrant golden color and bright tropical flavor that passion fruit fans know and love. Best of all, you get to enjoy that flavor without any of the peeling, scooping, or straining normally required to enjoy it at home.
Perfect for adding to smoothies or blending into cocktails, these passion fruit cubes are a freezer must have.
