A tropical treat, guava hails from Central and South America, now flourishing in warm climates worldwide. This myrtle family member, alongside cloves and pomegranates, features a small stature with round or pear-shaped fruit. Guava’s beauty extends beyond form, offering light green or sunny yellow skin and juicy flesh in white or vibrant pink. This deliciousness translates to powerful nutrition – packed with vitamin C and fiber, it’s the “poor man’s apple,” affordable and essential. Enjoy guava fresh, juiced for a refreshing drink, or in delectable jams and pastries. Even the leaves find purpose, brewed into a tea for potential health benefits.
