Split open one of my passion fruits and this little cutie was in there among the seeds. Never seen anything like it — sprouted seed? What is it?

Looks like a smaller passionfruit.
This phenomenon is called internal proliferation, where a smaller sterile fruit grows inside a normal fruit. Happens in bell peppers sometimes, and gives navel oranges their navel.
Wow.
Wonder what it tastes like? Is it safe to nibble on?
Sigh *unzips*
No but you sometimes see the same thing in citruses and stuff, it’s so neat
It was pregnant
