🌱 Endelevu's Sweet Journey to Innovation

Endelevu lives in a country with ideal climate and soil for producing passion fruit. Every household has some passion fruit plants. Endelevu owns a large passion fruit farm. He dreams of producing candies from passion fruit juice and offering them to the world.

🌿 Cultivation Site Selection and Preparation: Choose a well-drained, fertile site with adequate sunlight. Prepare the land by clearing and tilling.

🌞 Planting: Plant passion fruit seedlings in well-spaced rows to ensure good air circulation and access to sunlight.

💧 Irrigation and Fertilization: Regularly water the plants and apply appropriate fertilizers to enhance growth and fruit production.

🐞 Pest and Disease Management: Monitor and control pests and diseases through integrated pest management practices.

🍇 Harvesting Fruit Picking: Harvest the passion fruits once they have matured and the skins begin to wrinkle. This indicates high sugar content and optimal flavor.

💦 Sorting and Washing: Sort the fruits to remove any damaged or diseased ones and wash them thoroughly to remove dirt and residues.

🍹 Juice Extraction Cutting: Cut the fruits in half and scoop out the pulp.

🔄 Juicing: Pass the pulp through a juicer or press to extract the juice. Strain to remove seeds and any remaining solids.

🔥 Concentration Boiling: Boil the juice to evaporate water content, concentrating the flavors and sugars. This creates a thicker, more syrup-like consistency.

🍬 Candy Formation Mixing with Thickeners: Mix the concentrated juice with natural thickeners like pectin or gelatin to help set the candy.

🌈 Flavoring and Coloring: Optionally add natural flavors or colors to enhance the appearance and taste.

🔲 Molding: Pour the mixture into molds of desired shapes and sizes.

🌬️ Drying Dehydrating: Place the molded candies into a dehydrator or an oven set at a low temperature. Dry until the candies are firm but still chewy.

🍭 Coating (Optional) Sugar Coating: Roll the dried candies in granulated sugar or crystallized fruit powder to add texture and extra flavor.

❄️ Cooling: Allow the coated candies to cool and set completely.

📦 Packaging Vacuum Packing: Place the dried candies into vacuum-seal bags to remove air, which helps preserve their freshness and extends shelf life.

🏷️ Labeling: Label the packages with product information, including ingredients, nutritional values, and expiration date.

🌡️ Storage and Distribution Storage: Store the vacuum-packed candies in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality.

🚚 Distribution: Distribute the candies to retailers or directly to consumers. Each of these steps requires careful attention to detail and adherence to food safety standards to ensure that the final product is delicious, safe, and of high quality.
