Green Jambu Quick Facts

Taste and Texture

Green Jambu has a clean, watery crunch with a gentle sweetness. The eating texture is often compared with a light Asian pear or a very watery apple, but it is not as dense as an apple. The skin is thin and waxy, while the flesh is crisp and refreshing.

Compared with red or pink jambu fruit, green jambu may taste lighter and more delicate depending on the batch. Some green batches are very crisp and mildly sweet, while others may be sweeter, juicier or slightly floral. As with all fresh produce, taste and texture can vary by variety, origin, ripeness and shipment.

What is Green Jambu?

Green Jambu is a green-skinned jambu fruit commonly enjoyed fresh across Southeast Asia. It belongs to the rose apple / water apple family of fruits, known for their bell-like shape, waxy skin and crisp juicy flesh.

The fruit is usually eaten raw after washing. It can be served whole, sliced into wedges, added to salads or paired with chilli salt, plum powder, lime, cucumber, herbs or peanuts for a Southeast Asian-style snack.

Green jambu fruit is not the same as guava, although some local names can be confusing. Jambu air refers to water apple or rose apple, while guava is usually jambu batu or guava fruit.
