Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh passion fruit in the produce section of most local supermarkets or at fresh produce markets like Mbare Musika. For the juice, you can scoop the pulp of ripe passion fruit and strain it to get the pure liquid. If you can't find fresh ones, look for natural passion fruit concentrate in the juice or baking aisles of major retailers. Margarine, flour, and sugar are staples found in any grocery store across Zimbabwe.
