Guava is a tropical fruit with a distinctive aroma and flavor, widely enjoyed across many regions, including Malaysia. Its appearance can vary, but typically it is round or oval-shaped, with a skin that can be green, yellow, or reddish when ripe. The texture of the skin can be slightly bumpy or smooth.
The interior flesh of a guava varies in color from white, pink, or deep red, and it’s densely packed with numerous small, edible seeds that are often crunchy. The flavor profile is a unique blend of sweet and tart, often described as a mix of strawberry and pear, with a musky undertone. Guavas are known for being rich in Vitamin C and dietary fiber. They are commonly eaten fresh, made into juices, jams, or used in desserts and savory dishes.
