About Goiabada

Goiabada is a traditional Brazilian dessert made primarily from guava and sugar. This dense, sweet paste is typically cooked down until it reaches a thick, jelly-like consistency, similar to fruit preserves. Popular in Portuguese-speaking countries, it is often enjoyed with cheese in a pairing known as "Romeo and Juliet." Goiabada is rich in flavor and nutrients from guava, a tropical fruit high in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. However, its high sugar content makes it more of a treat than a health food for regular consumption. Available in both soft and firm varieties, Goiabada is versatile, used in baking, as a spread, or as an accompaniment to savory dishes. While it offers some nutritional benefits from guava, moderation is key to balancing its sugar levels in a healthy diet.
