Guava is a tropical fruit native to Central America and the Caribbean, now widely cultivated across the tropics and subtropics. Known for its vibrant flavor and intoxicating aroma, guava comes in various varieties, with pink and white-fleshed options being the most popular. This nutrient-dense fruit is packed with vitamin C, offering over 200% of the daily recommended intake per serving, alongside fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. It supports immune health, promotes digestion, and may enhance heart health due to its high potassium and fiber content. Guava is low in calories and has a low glycemic index, making it a healthy choice for individuals managing blood sugar. Enjoyed fresh, in smoothies, jams, or desserts, guava is a staple in tropical cuisines. Some varieties can be relatively high in natural sugars, so moderate consumption is advised, particularly for those monitoring their sugar intake.
