Feijoa

Feijoa, also known as pineapple guava, is a small aromatic fruit known for its smooth green skin and its soft, juicy flesh inside. It has a naturally sweet-tart, fragrant flavor, often described with tropical and floral notes reminiscent of pineapple, apple, and strawberry, with a fresh minty touch. Inside, the fruit contains a soft, jelly-like center with tiny edible seeds, surrounded by a slightly firmer flesh.
