On their IG account, all of the passion flower plants they show are p. edulis, the most commonly cultivated species. There's a subspecies, p. edulis var. flavicarpa, that's mostly used for juice because it is significantly tarter than the regular edulis. P. edulis fruit is dark purple when ripe. Flavicarpa is bright yellow. Hybrids between the two run the gamut, with reds and pinks common. All species of passion fruit are green when unripe. None are green when ripe. In fact, the green indicates the fruit still retains the plant's natural cyanide compounds, which are a defense against herbivores. Their claiming to use special green fruit strikes me as marketing B.S. Bad marketing B.S.
