Guava

​

Guavas may be round, ovoid or pea shaped; the varieties differ somewhat in flavor and seediness. The popular varieties are soft when ripe, creamy in texture, with a rind that softens to be fully edible. The flesh may be white, pink, yellow, or red.

​

The sweet, musky odor is pungent and penetrating. The seeds are numerous but small and, in good varieties, fully edible. Guavas are rich in Vitamins A, B, and C; it also contains high amounts of Calcium, which is unusual in a fruit.
