About Chinese guava

Chinese guava, also known as Psidium cattleyanum or strawberry guava, is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia and South America. Its small, round fruit has a thin, reddish skin and juicy, aromatic pulp with a strawberry-like flavor. This guava variety is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, making it a great choice for boosting immunity, aiding digestion, and supporting skin health. It contains moderate amounts of natural sugars and provides a quick energy source while being low in calories. Chinese guava is commonly used in beverages, desserts, jams, and chutneys in Asian and tropical cuisines. However, its high seed content requires careful preparation. While it’s highly nutritious, moderation is key due to its fructose content. This versatile superfruit is an excellent addition to a balanced diet, offering a unique blend of flavor and nutritional benefits.
