Description:
Guava, known as ‘Amrood’ in Hindi, is a tropical fruit that has a unique flavor profile and numerous health benefits. It is typically round or oval in shape and has a light green or yellow skin. Inside, the flesh can be white, pink, or red, depending on the variety, and it is dotted with small, edible seeds. Guavas are native to Central America and Mexico, but they are now cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The taste of guava is a mix of sweet and slightly tangy, often described as a cross between a pear and a strawberry. Guavas are rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to any diet. Their high water content also makes them particularly refreshing. In addition to being eaten fresh, guavas can be used to make juices, jams, and desserts.
