Guava
Selection Information
Usage: Jellies, preserves, sherbets, fruit drinks or for breakfast.
Selection: Guava is native to the Caribbean. The skin is green or
yellow and can be either pear-shaped or round. Guava flesh can be white,
red or salmon-colored. Good quality guava should be picked as you would
an avocado - it should be stored at room temperature until it gives to gentle
pressure. Scar and scuff marks are natural and do not affect the quality.
Avoid: Avoid product that is overly soft or has soft spots that are
visibly discolored.
Seasonal Information
Available September to January from Florida and California.
