Guava is a small tropical fruit tree or shrub that belongs to the family Myrtaceae. The trees are native to tropical America but are now grown in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Guava has quadrangular branchlets, oval to oblong leaves, and four-petaled, white flowers. The guava fruits are round to pear-shaped and contain small, hard seeds. The skin is greenish-yellow coloured while the flesh can be white, yellow, or pink. The fruits are commonly consumed raw or sliced and served with sugar and cream as a dessert. They are also popular as pastry fillings, preserves, jams, and jellies due to the pulp’s texture and sweet taste. Fresh guavas are a rich source of vitamins A, B, and C and possess antioxidant properties.
