Pink Guava

Pink guavas are known for their sweet musky aroma, which has tropical notes of papaya, passion fruit, melon, and ripe pear. They have a low acidity and are quite sweet; in fact, they are the sweetest of all guava kinds. They are often utilised for beverage consumption since they have a higher water content than green guavas. The fruit is spherical to slightly oval in shape and is 6-10 cm in diameter. They have a smooth green skin that ripens to a golden yellow with occasional brown streaks. The salmon pink meat inside is semi-soft and includes little round yellowish seeds that may be removed but are commonly eaten whole.

STORAGE

Guavas may be kept at room temperature, although refrigeration can increase the guava's life somewhat, so eat it as soon as possible. After 4 days in the refrigerator, the guava will be overripe and should be thrown. An overripe guava will dent if you apply force on it.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

Did you know that the seeds of a pink guava can be eaten? They may have harder seeds that you find unpleasant, but they are completely edible. You may use your fingers or the sharp edge of a knife to remove them. Pink guavas have more moisture than white cultivars and hence cook more readily into a puree or paste. They may be eaten raw or cooked, and they can be utilised in both sweet and savoury dishes. They may be blended with soy sauce, lemon juice, and spices to produce a chicken and pork sauce. Sweetened Pink guava puree, on the other hand, may be used to produce ice cream, jams, jellies, juices, spritzers, and cocktails. Berries, citrus, bananas, ginger, honey, coconut, and curry are all complementary flavours.
