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.
