Guava

A tropical fruit native to Central America but now cultivated in many warm regions around the world. Come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, ranging from round to pear-shaped and green to yellow or pink when ripe. The fruit's flesh can be creamy-white, yellow, or pink, with a sweet and tangy flavor reminiscent of a combination of pear, strawberry, and citrus. Guavas are rich in essential nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and dietary fiber, making them a nutritious addition to any diet.

Usage Instructions: Can use as decoration on desserts or can eat by its own.

Storage Instruction: 

Ripeness: Guavas continue to ripen after harvest, so it's best to purchase them when they are slightly firm but yield to gentle pressure. Avoid guavas with blemishes, bruises, or soft spots, as they may indicate overripeness or spoilage.

Room Temperature: Store ripe guavas at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Placing them in a fruit bowl or on the countertop will allow them to continue ripening and develop their full flavor and aroma.

Refrigeration: If you need to prolong the shelf life of ripe guavas or slow down the ripening process, you can store them in the refrigerator. Place them in a perforated plastic bag or airtight container to prevent moisture loss and extend their freshness.

Use Promptly: Guavas are highly perishable and should be consumed promptly once ripe to enjoy their optimal flavor and texture. Avoid storing them for extended periods, as they may become mushy or develop off-flavors.
