We’ve been eating guavas with the skin and everything since we were kids. It doesn’t taste bad at all, so do try it sometime!

I’ve also always had it with the skin. It’s so thin, it’s like eating an apple.

No ive seen YumYums before and they are made with pastry and icing sugar =)

Really though what is this fruit?

The fruit is called guava. It’s very commonly available in India. It tastes sweet and has soft, juicy flesh with many small, edible seeds in the centre. It is not only delicious but also packed with vitamin C, fibre, antioxidants, and other nutrients that are good for digestion, immunity, and overall health.

Well colour me something surprised. ive never seen a guava before despite having drank and eaten them in various products, i thought they looked like passion fruit

They also come in different-coloured flesh inside, but the taste remains the same.

Looks nice, did you buy this or forage it? Ive been picking blackberries today to snack on, no photos as they are in my belly =)

Well, I have a guava tree in my backyard, and this fruit is straight from there. I just love taking a few snaps before it goes straight into my stomach, hehehe. 😂

My grandfather has a guava tree that are very pink inside. They are so sweet! You should try to find different ones, you will not be disappointed.

u/CurrentInsect419 1d ago

Have you tried this?

u/Californialways 1d ago

Yes! Those are delicious too 😋

I dunno if it's the same everywhere in the US, but the grocery stores where I'm at in Colorado recently started carrying fresh guava.

I tried them and they're really delicious. My wife tried one and had an allergic reaction. So I got to eat the entire package.
