About Guayava

Guayava, or guava, is a tropical fruit native to Central and South America, now enjoyed worldwide. Known for its fragrant aroma and sweet, slightly tangy taste, guava is packed with nutrients. It's an excellent source of vitamin C—one serving provides more than double the daily requirement—as well as fiber, vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants like lycopene. Guava supports immune health, aids digestion, promotes heart health, and may help regulate blood sugar levels. It is low in calories and free of unhealthy fats, making it a nutritious option for snacks, smoothies, or desserts. The fruit is commonly used in Latin American cuisine for juices, jams, and candies. Guava seeds are edible and full of fiber, though some may prefer to strain them out. While guava is generally healthy, consuming it in excess or in sugary processed forms may diminish its nutritional benefits.
