Found Fruit in Wild. Edible?

I found this fruit while traveling down dirt roads. Can anyone tell me if this is an edible fruit and/or what it is called?

The picture is a little bit blurry but the pod is green, the seeds are membraney and white and they grown in rows inside the pod. It looks almost like a lime but when I touched the pod it was very soft.

Looks like a Passiflora.

Passiflora incarnata, aka maypop or passion flower, they are edible but are only good when they turn yellowish and become soft and wrinkly on the outside.
