Guava jam is a sweet and tropical fruit spread made primarily from ripe guava pulp, sugar, and natural pectin. Originating from regions where guavas are abundant, such as the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, this jam is a staple in many cuisines and adds a vibrant flavor to breakfast dishes and desserts. Guavas are rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, making guava jam a source of some nutrients, though the cooking process reduces vitamin content. The high sugar content in most recipes makes it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Guava jam pairs well with bread, pastries, and cheeses, offering a balance of tangy and sweet notes. Look for versions with lower added sugar or homemade batches for a healthier option while still enjoying its tropical goodness.
