I harvested pitangatuba.

But it is really sour....

Is there sweet pitangatuba existed?

There are some that have more of a sweet component to the sour but none that I have ever tried which are pure sweet.

The orange ones in your scale are fully ripe, and would have the best potential flavor.  That green one in your hand was picked a bit too early and will be fully sour.

Pitangatube=Passionfruit/Battery acid Hybrid.
Great for Ice tea instead of lemon though.

yes for sure, I have tasted fruit from over 40 seedlings, from several sources...some just better than others...and they must be eaten at the perfect time...too early is bad, too late maybe even worse.  Usually ripe is orange, but i have some that never turn orange, and stay yellow...I should have grafted trees by next season, but I'm still in the process of picking my favorites to graft.

For eating out of hand... they can be problematic. You can substitute them in most any recipe that calls for lemons. The tropical fruit overtone flavor and the acidly tart flavors work well with a lot of foods.
They are very juicy with a fiberous pulp.
We should collect pitangatuba cooking ideas from other forum members.

I didnt tasted pitangatuba yet, but your descriptions make me think of acid ubajay: I will never eat it our of hand, but it makes one of the best mermelades I ever tasted, and will be very good in many dishes
