Guava is a tropical fruit with a sweet and tangy flavor, often described as a combination of pear, strawberry, and citrus. It is known for its aromatic scent and can have either creamy white or vibrant pink flesh.
purchase guide
Look for fruits that are firm, yet slightly yielding when gently pressed. The skin should be smooth and free from bruises or blemishes. Additionally, a fragrant aroma emanating from the fruit is a good indication of its ripeness and flavor.
COnsumptiOn
To eat guava, wash the fruit thoroughly, cut it in half, and scoop out the soft flesh with a spoon, discarding the seeds if desired. Alternatively, you can slice the guava into wedges and enjoy it as a refreshing snack or add it to salads, smoothies, or desserts for a tropical twist.
storage tip
To store guava, keep it at room temperature until it reaches the desired ripeness. Once ripe, you can store it in the refrigerator to prolong its freshness for up to a week.
Ripening
When the guava skin turns yellow and is soft to the touch, it is ready to be eaten.
