Guavas/ Psidium Guajava is a small tree in the myrtle family, native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. Guava has a unique flavor, which has been described as similar to papaya, or a cross between a pear and a strawberry. It has a sweet, musky aroma, with soft, juicy flesh.
Verigated Guavas are a delicious and highly ornamental variety from Thailand which produces a medium size fruit for eating fresh off the tree or canning and preserving. The smooth, round-shaped fruit is striped on the exterior with a unique creamy white interior flesh.
Fresh guavas are rich in vitamins A, B, and C, and are commonly eaten raw and may be sliced and served with sugar and cream as a dessert.
