Guava is a small tropical fruit, measuring 4–10 cm in diameter, oval in shape, and yellowish when ripe. Its pulp, which can be yellowish or reddish depending on the variety, contains small seeds and is sweet and highly aromatic.
Guava is rich in vitamins A and C, and also provides phosphorus and calcium, making it a nutritious and health-promoting fruit. It has laxative and refreshing properties, ideal for digestion and hydration.
The fruit is best enjoyed fresh, but it is also widely used to make jams and jellies.
Storage: Guavas should be kept in a cool place to preserve freshness.
