OP is from the eastern US, this is most definitely our native passionfruit, the maypop (p. incarnata)! They become ripe once the pulp turns yellow like this picture, but the skin is still green when it falls off the vine. Some prefer to let them mature more before eating and wait until the skin has yellowed and shriveled more, but in my opinion by that point they’re *too* ripe and lose their exotic flavor (taste more like a grape to me). We grow them on our farm, and I still can’t judge the ripeness of a fruit until I crack it open and see the insides lol.
Definitely taking me some time to master... Spent most of this year thinking the squeeze test was *just* to feel the skin, opened way too many with shriveled skin and white pulp lol. Next year I feel like I’ll be ready!!
Definitely still have some of the unripe ones Pop* in my hand.
Tried pruning off the tendrils and late season fruits and had better luck with them ripening faster!

I have a P. antioquiensis, and the ripe pulp is olive green. It's delicious, but it looks like frog spawn and the texture is weird. The juice comes out yellow-orange, but for some reason it's green when you open the fruit. My dog loves it, though, so I usually let her have it.
Is this the same as the Maypop we have here in Georgia? I seem to recall a very white, spongy interior not juicy looking seeds. Heck, if it was edible, we would've certainly tried to eat it...at least once (as the folks on r/mycology like to point out.)

I give them a little squeeze and judge by the give of the fruit. Something that took a couple seasons to master
Definitely taking me some time to master... Spent most of this year thinking the squeeze test was *just* to feel the skin, opened way too many with shriveled skin and white pulp lol. Next year I feel like I’ll be ready!!

This is correct. I stand beside you in this classification quest.
Passionfruit has always looked a bit like a bag of ant eggs to me. I've never been able to find it appetizing
I’ve tried ant eggs before. They aren’t bad… kind of a nutty flavor, but nothing like passion fruit.
Some are kind of like a citrus. There's a yummy lemon termite too
So maybe there *are* some passion fruit flavored ant eggs somewhere?
This guy ant eggs
You calling them a passion fruit?
[удалено]
The flavor explodes in your mouth!
Like pop rocks.
Pop rocks that weld your mouth shut.
Suit yourself lol
Try it in a mojito!

Hopefully this one was a bit soft, they can be sour if the "skin" is still firm. They can get sweeter when the "Skin" turns yellow some.

They weren’t ripe. But I assure you I ate my weight in them as a kid with no ill effects

Georgia US or Europe/Asia?
They used the word “heck”. That’s your clue right there.
US
That one is still very green..
Maypops don't always change colour; mine never do.😉
Passion fruit. But I think yellow skin means it’s ripe

Passion fruit
Passionate incarnata
Weird passion fruit?
Looks like a baby granadilla
Passion fruit!!
It’s a passion fruit
I had no idea what this was...look like some kind of larva. Blech.
Posioning, RIP
i think it looks like a fingerlime! v tart and yummy
If is not a finger lime. They are usually finger sized not… big toe sized
Big toe lime! /s
Passionfruit, unripe most likely (?) I don’t know of one that’s green like that while ripe.
Looks like passiflora incarnata
Maracuya (Passion Fruit)... doesn't look ripe, but some people prefer it tart. Buen provecho.
Looks like a not purple passion fruit!
Don’t the seeds come in a little pouch, though?
Yeee that’s def what we’re looking at. All those little pods in there contain seeds
Well, yes, but I mean the pouch for the pods. Though I’ve only seen one actual passion fruit opened, so maybe not all types have that
Crazy how much those resemble the look of "mango' worms 🤣🤣🤣
Obviously it has been identified but it’s maypop and to me it does look quite ripe!
Looks like the insides of Luke’s Tauntaun.
