Guava
Guava was brought to Florida during the mid-1800s and has been a household staple ever since. While commonly sold as a thick paste and made into pastelitos and other sweet desserts, fresh red guava is a delicious, deep pink or red fleshed fruit with a sweet, tropical flavor. From beverages to sauces, even eating these like an apple for your daily snack, red guava is a versatile fruit that can conquer any sweet tooth.
J&C Tropicals carries red and Thai guava fruit.
- Cut whole guava into slices by cutting off the ends and peeling the skin.
- Remove the seeds with a spoon to toss into a fruit or leafy salad.
- Process or blend to create a sweet sauce for a topping to an entrée.
- Make jam to add to toast as a spread.

Unripe guava will last approximately a week at room temperature or 1-2 days if ripe. Within a sealed bag in the fridge, ripened guava will last for 4-5 days.
