Guayaba, or guava, is a tropical fruit native to Central and South America, now enjoyed worldwide. Its vibrant green or yellow skin surrounds soft, juicy, pink or white flesh dotted with edible seeds. Rich in Vitamin C, guayaba offers immune-boosting benefits, containing more of this nutrient than oranges. It's also packed with dietary fiber, promoting healthy digestion, and contains potassium, which supports heart health. Guayaba is low in calories yet high in antioxidants like lycopene, which help combat free radicals and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Its naturally sweet flavor makes it a popular ingredient in Latin American desserts, smoothies, juices, and savory dishes. While the fruit is nutrient-dense, watch for added sugars in processed guava products. Fresh guayaba is an excellent choice for a nutritious, delicious snack that supports overall wellness.
