Guava Fruit

It’s Good To Eat Pink Guava ...

slice of fresh, ripe pink guava, ready to eat

Yes ... I’m feeling very healthy at the moment as I’ve found yet another exotic fruit to try ... and again it’s a fruit that’s really, really good for you! However, unlike the Granadilla I tried recently the Guava not only looks OK, it has a gorgeous aroma and actually tastes good ...
Hurrah! Something that tastes good as well as being good for you ...

On this basis, if you haven’t tried this unusual fruit get down to your local supermarket or green grocers (I got my guava from the packed shelves at Tesco’s) and buy one. Relatively expensive – about 70p each – for a fruit slightly smaller than a dessert pear, I’m sure you’ll not regret the expense when you try it.

pink guava, fresh but wrapped up to keep it safe from damage

Just A Quick Hint Before You Buy ...
To eat raw guava it needs to be very ripe so when you select one, squeeze the fruit gently to see if it is gives under the pressure of your fingers ... if it does it’s ready to eat.
You’ll see from the photo that Tesco’s were really looking after their guava fruit – wrapped in clear film and protected from damage with a little foam cover ... I knew it was going to be good just from this extra packaging!

If my praise of the guava isn’t enough for you, here are a few facts to tempt you even more ...


What’s Good About A Guava ...
Guavas are said to be one of the best fruits available and that’s because they are not only a very rich source of vitamin C (a guava contains more of this vitamin than a typical citrus fruit – the rind contains over five times more vitamin C than an orange!), they also contain high amounts of calcium – which is unusual in a fruit.

A fresh guava fruit is also a valuable source of vitamin A and B, nicotinic acid, phosphorous, potassium, iron, folate and is high in fibre. Coupled with all these vitamins and minerals (I’m feeling healthy just writing about it!) guavas are also low in fat and calories, with only about 25 calories per fruit ...

To top all this talk of health off, guava fruit are said to help lower cholesterol, protect your heart and are good for your immune system ... what more could you ask for!
Usually things packed with all this goodness are found within something that tastes really bad, but with the guava it’s actually the opposite ...

pink guava, ripe enough to eat, pale yellow - green rind of the pink guava

What's It All About ...
As you can see, the guava is very similar in looks to a small pear or apple – in fact it’s often called the poor man’s apple of the tropics. Available in a range of varieties, the pink guava which I tried had a thin, yellowish-green skin which concealed a very deep pink flesh soft enough to eat with a spoon. Other varieties which you might see can have a skin anything from yellow in colour through to purple-black, with the flesh ranging from a creamy white to a bright red.

What’s really distinctive about the guava – even before you cut it open – is its really strong, sweet fragrance. After I bought is and took it home with the rest of my shopping in the car, the fragrance was almost overbearing. And even now, whilst I’m still eating the fruit its fragrance is able to fill the whole room ...

And finally the taste. Its flesh has a grainy texture just like a pear, but there are three distinctive parts of the guava – all of which can be eaten:

fresh, ripe, pink guava, cut open and ready to eat

the thin, outer rind – which I think leaves something of an after taste but does contain lots of vitamin C – so if you can eat it, do (IT’S GOOD FOR YOU ...)

the firm, inner flesh – a distinctive layer just within the rind which is almost identical in texture to a pear

the soft, central section – containing hard little seeds (which you can eat) surrounded by a softer, stringy flesh – a little but like strawberry (in taste – although not as sweet and the seeds are much more noticeable as you eat them) or tomato (in texture). I like this part the most – and it’s easy to scoop out with a spoon ... yummy.

What’s The Use ...
Although I ate my guava raw, you’ll also find guavas being used to create purified juice and drinks, in desserts (its aroma makes it really useful for flavouring sherbet and ice cream) and in fruit salad. Guavas are also popular for making jams and preserves, together with sauces and dressings.

And finally .. you can finish off your evening with a guava martini … shaken, not stirred I guess ...

3 different parts to eat with 3 different tastes and textures - that's a pretty versatile fruit you have there, GiGi. Now, if only I could get one without boosting Tesco's profits and helping them with their war-fund for invading Denmark*

Hey Foamy!
Did you think I was abit over enthusiastic with my praise ... this was only to counter the foul report on the granadilla I tried (gosh ... just the thought of it is making my tummy turn ...)
Plus ... I really think you should try it, it really does taste good and think of your bones ... its packed with calcium ... mmm

(this comment was sponsored by Tescos ... I'm off to get my free shopping now ...)

Hi,
Glad to hear about the Guyava's nutritional properties. Wow! I have been eating them from the trees, here in Israel, since I arrived and I did not know about them from before (not fresh anyways). I also am surprised to hear they have only 25 calories!?? Someone told me that you should not eat more than 3 a day but could not tell me why exactly. He said that they made you constipated (from the seeds???) Is it because you could OD on vitamin 'C' or something?!
I thank you for your atention to this matter.

Wonderful smell, youre right!
Thanks,
Lauren

What about the seed? Its seeds cause appedicitis?? :(

Posted by: Johnny at March 14, 2007 03:27 PM

Hi!

I'm from Brazil, and guavas (known here as goiabas) are fairly common. In fact, I've had a guava tree (goiabeira) on every house I lived. Awesome fruits, indeed.

About the constipation, it's really a matter if you eat too many of them a day. And by "too many" I mean 5 or more. To tell the truth, I ate 10 or more of them, once, and had no problems at all. I guess that some people are more prone, more sensitive to the substances that cause it. Can't tell for sure.

I never had appendicitis, too, and never heard of anyone who had appenciditis 'cause of its seeds.

My gradma used to make an awesome guava jelly. There's a marmelade (goiabada) that we use to eat with cheese that's also very tasty.

It's widely agreed that it's a very healthy fruit. Hope you enjoy your discovery! =)

Guava appears to be the healthiest fruit available.

Posted by: Mike Lewis at April 1, 2007 05:40 AM

Um I have never heard all these thing about guavas, its very interesting to learn these stuff about them and the most amazing part is about the nutritional properties of guavas.
I also am surprised to hear they have only 25 calories.
Here in Mauritius, there are many guava trees, all the mauritians like to eat them but we have never been able to know these facts.
It's widely agreed that it's a very healthy fruit.
take care,

where in the united states can guava is sold Richnond VA.

Posted by: Mary A Harvey at April 6, 2007 11:50 PM

since I read all this informative items I ask my nephew to give me some from his tree, ate them all, planted some seeds of the ripest fruit in a seedbed and have now about twenty plants with four leaves, ready to transplant in my garden (Kingdom of Tonga) for a guava plantation to guarantee me a long and healthy life.

Posted by: heinz at April 13, 2007 04:55 AM

The fruit is excellent. I was looking for a good source of fiber for my husband who had diverticulitis, but he can't eat the seeds, so this fruit I don't think would work for him.

Posted by: Vicki at April 27, 2007 07:07 PM

Thank you this was was such an informative article about Guava's I sure plan on putting one in my back yard I have Mango's and papaya's and a grapfruit tree. my back yard is allmost full Emma

Posted by: emma at April 28, 2007 07:42 PM

If you're having difficulty finding Guavas, they're commonly found in ethnic food markets as well. (Asian commonly...) or if you're in California or Texas, Spanish places too.

<3!

Posted by: GBM. at June 16, 2007 12:30 AM

did you know this fruit is known to have traces of ghb ( more known as the date rape drug) in the ripe fruit. I'm a drug worker and it has been printed in drug books describing what the drugs can be found in.

Posted by: joanne hall at July 23, 2007 09:16 PM

You can buy guava's at Indian grocery stores, chinese super market and sometimes I found in American grocery stores as well.

I have been eating this fruit since my childhood. This is an excellent fruit. For those of you who are afraid to eat it because it may cause contipation...I want you to understand that it works just opposit. If you are constipated, eat guava and it will clear your bowl movement for sure. There are varieties of guavas some has lots of seeds and some has less seed. The best guava's have less seeds. Seeds are edible and it help clear your constipation. Do not eat guava if you have loose motions.

I prefer eating crunchy guava. If you like crunchy apples/pears then you would like crunchy guavas as well. And you eat guaqvas same way as you eat apples. Some people like very ripe guavas but then it is not very fresh.

Also I am more than four decade old and never heard or experienced any drug elements in it. So those of you who are afraid to eat this helthy fruit, do little more research before giving up.

Came across your site thru' the Jigzone crossword puzzle page, and am glad I did. Have had guava before, but didn't know one could eat both the skin and the seeds. I had cut out seeds and skin, which left little left to eat! So, I didn't buy it again as a result. Now I will buy some and try eating the whole thing out of hand. I went to the mango after being disappointed with the guava experience. I'm from upper NY State, but our markets carry both fruits, although I wonder as to the freshness of them. They are probably shipped really immature here, and I hope to find some that will ripen before going bad first. Am anxious to try this fruit again, I did like it, but thought (after taking out so much of it) it more bothersome than it was worth. Now that I know better, let's hope my next experience with the gauva will be more delightful. Thanks for putting up this blog, it has been most informative.

Im really enjoying this Exotic fruit here in Cyprus,amazed on reading its qualities,but above all I really love this fruit, the aroma is such a bonus too. I wish I could make a perfume from it also,but I agree its better eaten.

Posted by: Anne Antoniades at October 23, 2007 06:54 PM

Guavas are great, they are a top 10 food for sure, in fact I found guavas in a top 10 food you should eat on a website I regular meddlinks.com

Posted by: Dom at October 29, 2007 07:34 PM

I'd like to confirm what joanne hall has to say about the fruit containing a drug. I bought a very ripe guava which turns yellow when it ripens, it said in the supermarket that the skin and the seeds can be eaten so after eating the seeds of one guava and two cans of beer my head started to feel light. I'm still light headed now. I came accross this article when searching on google just now for "Guava seeds drug" purely because both me and my mum had a guava each and had the same symptoms. Crazy ! I didn't know about this before !

Posted by: Luke at November 2, 2007 10:58 PM

well in teh middle east, LEbanon to be exact, we have guavas the yellow variety with white flesh and seeds throughout the summer season, I have eaten some fruits taht almost weighed a pound. They are relatively inexpensive selling for 1 u.s. dollar a pound. So basically come to Lebanon in summer and enjoy our great giant guavas.

Posted by: K at November 7, 2007 11:56 AM

Guava
Guava is a tropical super fruit. One cup provides 110 calories, 376 milligrams Vitamin C (that's more than 300 percent of the daily value), 699 milligrams potassium and nine grams of fiber!Guava also provides a hearty dose of lycopene - an antioxidant that appears to fight prostate cancer (when it comes to lycopene, most people only think about tomatoes). You'll find this exotic fruit in Latin grocery stores and at high end markets.


This is from Yahoo, the calories seem to be a lot diff. tham 25 on there.

Hello,

Please introduce my self my name is Avip, I come from jakarta, Indonesia. I read your article, I think it's really good and usefull for me. I have many trees in my garden like: Guava, Mango, Coconut, Jack fruit..etc.

Best Regards

Posted by: Avip at January 12, 2008 05:27 AM

I'd be very interested in getting the answer the questions asked by Nyok from Malaysia on November 30, 2007. I've been eating a big guava for lunch without the seeds(with some carrot and cucumber) on every work day for two years except when on vacation or business trips away from home. One clear effect I've noticed is my bowel movement is better than ever before. If I stop eating guawa when I travel, bowel movement becomes not as good at all. Since I believe that too much of anything is not good, I'd like to know if I should continue eating guava for lunch 5 days all week? Thanks in advance for any information I can get on this subject.

Posted by: C. N. Canh at January 15, 2008 06:05 AM

Im from philippines! We really have a lot of guava even in our backyards but Ive never eaten that fruit but now Im sure Im gonna eat that! Could you please guys give a very brief description about guava? Anyone who reads my favor could make a reply. Thanks guys!

Before I was an experienced hiker, I ventured out on the Napali Coast trail in Hawaii without enough water to keep me hydrated. On the return leg I could tell I was dangerously dehydrated. But I noticed on the trees above me an unfamiliar yellow fruit. I was desperate so I did something I'd always been warned not to do as a child, I picked unknown fruit right off the tree and started eating it. It was so good, I started picking one every quarter mile or so and I'd say I ate about 10 by the time I was back to Ke'e Beach. I can tell you that if there is any GHB in the guava, it is only trace amounts with no discernible effects. To the person who said they got lightheaded from one guava and two beers, it was very likely the two beers (maybe you had an empty stomach at the time?) - alcohol and GHB mixed doesn't cause lightheadedness, it causes seizures and coma. And there are enough drinkers of guava martinis around to attest to the fact that the guava must have no significant amount of GHB in it (if it even has any at all). Myth busted! :-)

Posted by: random at January 24, 2008 04:50 AM

I didn't read your entire article but... I live in the tropics and have started growing about 10 guava trees. Unfortunately on this island we only have a few varieties. I want the variety shown in your photos:
large, pink/red, few seeds, thin skin!!!

Can anyone please find a source for me to get get scions or seeds from this variety for me?

I'm in a medical field,and these days with rising cost of meds. I now regret ignoring the simple treatments my grand parents use to do by using differents plants. Boiling guava leaves and using its juice to cleanse the wound was one of them.

Posted by: Lita at July 4, 2008 04:43 PM

I was given a Guava Tree several years back as a house warming gift. I grew well here in the Great Lakes of NSW Australia. First year it fruited I wasn't over fussed with the frit and gave what I had to neighbours. They were not over fussed either. This year the tree is loaded with fruit and tried a really ripe one again and it's not bad. Birds love it and they were having a great feast with the fruit.
After reading up on the guava here I might give it another try and may get to like it as it is full of all the right things in life.

Cheers Joe. (Shalom)

I own a shaved ice business and one of our flavors is guava. I had never heard of it before. I tried it and really liked it. It is really good mixed with pineapple. So next time you go get a shaved ice or sno cone ask if get these two flavors mixed together it's great. I have not seen the fruit so that's why I decided to look it up. I would love to try one so guess I will start looking for one. I live in a small town in Kansas so I might be looking for awhile.

Hi, I live in South Africa and we used to have guavas in almost every store, till a couple of (6 or 7)years ago when it was decided (probably by government) to get rid of all guava trees because it is not native to our country. This is really sad and I miss the fruit terribly. I am pregnant now and really crave guava on occasion! Wish they could have done more research on the pro's and cons of guava before making such a drastic decision.

Thanks

Posted by: John at August 19, 2008 06:01 PM

Helen, you can find guavas at most Asian supermarkets in the USA. But you might have to travel to the bigger cities, as they have more varieties of tropical fruits. Recently I spotted fresh mangosteens too (6 fruits for $7.50).

Posted by: Sadie at August 26, 2008 10:45 AM

One of my favorite fruits. This morning I started the day with a smoothie I made out of bananas, guavas, orange juice and ice. Stick those in a good blender and you'll get something tastier and healthier than most things you can buy.

I strained the seeds from the smoothie but I eat them with glee when munching on the fruit itself.

Posted by: Bob at September 8, 2008 08:15 AM

I read a newspaper artical about guava fruit, that it cures mouth ulcers, because I suffer from mouth ulcers I wanted to try it, but I've searched through all the supermarkets in town and cannot find it anywhere i've tried Tesco, Sainsburys, asda and every other shop around, so if anyone who lives in N Ireland has guava fruit in their diet please let me know where you purchased it. Ps if it works on my mouth ulcers i will be an avid advocate for the guava fruit.

Posted by: Nurul Hananie at May 30, 2009 06:09 AM

First to get the glossy magazine article 'health benifits of Guava: calcuim and low calories' out of the way....

Shock ! Horror! A guava fruit contains next to no calcuim.
It also contains 47 kC not 25 kC.

The science....
From the USDA Food Database (rev.19):
1 Guava fruit, Raw (excluding waste) --- 47kCals
Vitamins:
A huge 140% RDA of Vitamin C, but not much else -

Minerals:
Next to none.

All the claims above on Calcuim are rubbish -
a single fruit supplies just 1% of your daily calcium requirement

So, unfortunately, nutritionally its a bit pathetic as it supplies nothing other than vitamin C.

However, I used to share a flat with 2 flatmates from Tinidad and Tobago and thier mum prepared me a guava drink by slicing the pulp into a bowl. Good God! The favour was awesome! Glad to see I can now get it from a main supermarket here in the UK.
I recommend you ignore the article on it health benefits, but try it for it favour!

i just had a guava that i picked from the neighbours front yard. is is the middle of winter here in south australia so i didnt expect a tropical fruit at the moment. it was lovely, tried the skin as well after reading this and what just as tasty... might have to get one for my own yard.

Posted by: SITI SARINA ROHANI at September 7, 2009 12:53 PM

Guava's are not sour at all and the best way to get your hands on some if you cannot get a fresh guava, is a tin of guavas (try Tesco) and have them with custard...delish!!!!! I also had guava trees in every house we stayed at in SA. Love them and mis them here in the UK.
