A Passion for Fluorine transport of fluorinated drugs in aqueous environments requires stable, water‐dispersible carriers. In their Communication on page 16186 ff., P. Metrangolo and F. Baldelli Bombelli et al. describe a passionfruit‐like supraparticle filled with fluorinated gold nanoparticles, which is coated by the vegetable protein hydrophobin II. The fluorous confined space of the supraparticle permits encapsulation of millions of fluorinated drug molecules.
