Guavas

Guavas are sweet, tropical fruit native to South America. The fruit may be round, ovoid or pear shaped, 2-4 inches in diameter. These thin-skinned fruit can range from yellow to dark purple and the flesh can be pale yellow to bright red. Typically they are only found fresh in regions where they are grown. Guavas are available in supermarkets canned, as jam, jelly or sauce.
