What is this product?

Guava (Psidium guajava) is a tropical fruit known for its unique fragrance, mildly sweet flavor, and soft edible seeds. It is round or oval in shape, with light green skin that encloses creamy white or pink flesh. Guava is an incredible source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, folate, and antioxidants like lycopene, making it one of the healthiest fruits available. It can be eaten raw, juiced, or added to salads and desserts. With its refreshing taste and powerful nutrients, guava is a true immunity booster and digestive aid, perfect for both children and adults.

🌍 Origin

Guava originated in Central America and later spread throughout India, Saudi Arabia, and tropical Asia. Today, it’s cultivated widely across the world, especially in warm climates, for its high nutritional value and versatility. Locally grown guavas are handpicked when firm and aromatic to ensure freshness, sweetness, and premium quality for consumers.
