About the Product
Guavas are distinctive for their softball-like size and vibrant apple-green skin, which may vary in texture from bumpy to smooth. Their white flesh, dotted with pale yellow seeds, is firmer and less juicy compared to pink guavas, offering a mildly sweet flavor with minimal fragrance. Both the crunchy flesh and hard seeds are edible, making them a versatile fruit for various culinary uses.
