Pink Guava Quick Facts

Taste and Texture

Pink Guava has a naturally tropical aroma that becomes more noticeable as the fruit ripens. The flesh is usually sweet, fragrant and slightly musky, with a softer fruit perfume than everyday green guava. Some batches may taste more floral, while others may taste closer to pear, melon, papaya or passion fruit.

The texture depends on ripeness. A firmer guava has a cleaner crunch and is suitable for slicing. A riper guava becomes more aromatic, softer and juicier, which makes it especially good for pink guava juice, pink guava drink and smoothies.

The seeds are edible, but they can be firm depending on the batch. If you prefer a smoother drink, blend the guava and strain before serving.

• Also commonly called red guava

What is Pink Guava?

Pink guava is a type of guava with pink to reddish flesh inside. The outer skin is usually green when firm and may turn more yellow-green as it ripens. The fruit can be round, oval or slightly uneven in shape because guava is natural produce.

Guava is widely enjoyed as a tropical fruit and can be eaten raw, used in desserts, processed into jam or blended into guava juice. Pink guava is especially popular for drinks because the flesh gives a natural pink colour and fragrant tropical flavour.

In Singapore, shoppers may search for pink guava, red guava, guava juice, pink guava drink or guava in Malay when looking for this fruit. The Malay names jambu batu and jambu biji are common names for guava, while jambu batu merah may be used when referring to red or pink-flesh guava.

Pink Guava vs Red Guava

Pink guava and red guava are often used in a similar way to describe guavas with pink to reddish flesh. The exact flesh colour can vary from pale salmon-pink to deeper reddish-pink depending on the variety, origin, ripeness and batch.

Pink Guava Juice and Pink Guava Drink

Pink guava is a good fruit choice for homemade pink guava juice because the flesh blends into a naturally fragrant, tropical drink. For a simple guava juice, wash the guava, cut it into smaller pieces, blend with cold water or ice, then strain if you prefer a smoother texture.

For a refreshing pink guava drink, pair the fruit with lemon, lime, honey, coconut water, ginger, berries, banana or passion fruit. Riper guavas usually give a stronger aroma and more rounded sweetness, while firmer guavas give a cleaner and lighter flavour.

• Blend with cold water and ice for guava juice
• Strain after blending for a smoother drink
• Add lemon or lime for brightness
• Pair with coconut water for a tropical pink guava drink
• Mix with banana or berries for smoothies
• Use ripe guava for stronger aroma

How to Eat Pink Guava

Wash the guava well before eating. You can slice it into wedges, rounds or cubes. The skin and seeds are generally edible, although some customers prefer to remove the seedier centre or strain the seeds out when making juice.

Firm pink guava is good for slicing and dipping with a little plum powder, chilli salt or lime. Ripe pink guava is better for chilled eating, fruit bowls, drinks, puree, jams and desserts.

• Eat fresh after washing
• Slice into wedges for fruit platters
• Chill before serving for a refreshing bite
• Blend into pink guava juice
• Use in smoothies and fruit drinks

Pink Guava Benefits

Pink guava can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. It naturally contains vitamin C, dietary fibre, water, fruit sugars and naturally occurring plant pigments that give the flesh its pink to reddish colour.

Nutrition values vary by fruit size, ripeness, variety and batch. Pink guava should be enjoyed as fresh fruit in sensible portions and is not a medical treatment.

1 Guava Calories

For customers checking 1 guava calories, the amount depends on the size and edible weight of the fruit. A small guava will have fewer calories than a large guava. As a general guide, common raw guava contains about 68 kcal per 100g.

If you are tracking calories closely, weighing the edible portion is more accurate than counting by piece because guava size can vary widely.

Storage and Ripening Guide

Keep firm pink guavas at room temperature until they become fragrant and slightly soft. Ripe guava usually gives off a sweet tropical aroma and has a gentle give when pressed lightly. Avoid pressing too hard, as ripe guava can bruise.

Once ripe, place the guava in the refrigerator and consume soon for best flavour and texture. Overripe guava may become overly soft, watery, fermented-smelling or bruised.

• Store firm guavas at room temperature
• Refrigerate once ripe
• Wash only before eating or cutting
• Keep cut guava covered and refrigerated
• Consume cut fruit as soon as possible
• Avoid fruit with mould, leaking juice or fermented smell
