Guava

Fruit

Guava is a tropical fruit native to Central America and widely grown across Asia, the Caribbean, and other warm regions. The fruit is round or oval with light green to yellow skin and can have white, pink, or red flesh inside, dotted with small edible seeds.

Flavor & Texture:
Sweet, floral, and slightly tangy — often described as a mix between a pear and a strawberry. The texture ranges from crisp to soft, depending on ripeness.

How people use it:

Eaten fresh or sliced with chili and salt.

Blended into juices, smoothies, or agua fresca.

Cooked into jams, jellies, or desserts.

Used in pastries and sauces for its unique tropical aroma.

Fun fact:
Guavas are rich in vitamin C — one fruit can provide more than double the daily requirement, making it one of the most nutrient-dense tropical fruits.
