- We are using guava (peru ) with less seeds (it costs a little more than guava with more seeds). So purchase this variety to make guava juice. The other variety of guave has more seeds. The delightful guava fruit is round or oval shaped, around 4-12cm long. The outer skin may be rough and bitter or soft and sweet. And depending on the variety, the skin can be thick or thin too. It is usually green when raw and becomes yellow, pink or green as it ripens. Guava is characterised not only by its unique flavour but also its dominant aroma, which pervades the whole room when cut, in ways similar to lemon rind.

Guava (Peru) benefits : After amla, guava is a fruit, which is packed with immune building Vitamin C (275.5 mg / cup). Guavas are a great source of fighting bacteria, which cause diseases like common cold and cough. They do so by fostering white blood cells (WBC) production. The high fiber in Guava which is known to show positive weight loss and blood sugar control results, also is an aid to control blood pressure and is one of the healthy heart fruits and diabetic friendly. The most fruitful way to treat obesity is to eat healthy for weight loss – low fat, high fiber and high protein foods. See detailed benefits of guava.
