Pink Guava


(Source)

I was recently served a fruit salad with the most beautiful pink fruit in it. It tasted delicious too, but I wasn’t able to work out what it was. The colour was so vivid, similar to the colour of watermelon, but with a texture similar to papaya. There were tiny, edible seeds in it too.

So after scanning the internet, I have finally worked out what it was. My new discovery was Pink Guava.

I have previously been given pink guava juice (it’s lovely with champagne!) and even eaten the jam, but I had never seen the actual fruit.

Guava, like all fruits, is bursting with health benefits. It even has up to 10 times more Vitamin C than other fruits (particularly in its skin), and is very high in calcium. Just don't be put off by the aroma! It's quite strong, however the taste is much milder.

Haha Gail, you made me laugh out loud as the memories came flooding back. Laughing out loud

We grew up in North Queensland and Guavas' were part of life for us. As I got older I learnt to cut the Guava into small pieces and inspect carefully before eating ........ even then you could not always be certain of not getting extra protien in the form of grubs. Shocked

I love this fruit, I think it will always be a favourite of mine and grubs or not it really is good for you. Eye-wink

Yes the fruit is very nice we have a tree out at my mothers and it is a fight to see who can get to the ripe ones first.

If you find any that looks as good as this picture then, yes, eat it. The saying here is that you need to eat it in the dark. That is so that you cannot see the grubs in it. We grew the trees commercially and after 6 years gave up. If the fruit flies don't get it then there is a moth that gets into the flower and grows into grubs in the mature fruit. I could not come at eating them because of the smell.
