Guavas

Uses:

The guava is actually classified as a berry. The edible skin is light green in color and the flesh is a creamy white. The taste is similar to a cross between an Asian pear and a crab apple. The texture is firm and crisp and the taste mildly sweet. They can be eaten fresh, used in desserts or for nectar, juice, preserves, or sauces. Melissa’s Guavas are grown in California and are available in a 10# bulk pack.

This round to oval shaped subtropical fruit is actually classified as a berry. Harvested when just ripe, Melissa's Guavas have a refreshing, mildly sweet, fruity and tart flavor. Guavas are ripe when soft and creamy in texture. They have an edible rind and small seeds which are also edible. No one can resist their rare and irresistible scent, with its delicate floral aroma. One bite will transport you to the tropics!

Selection, Storage & Handling:

Melissa’s Guavas are hand selected for their excellent quality. Harvested when firm and ripe, choose solid, unblemished fruit. They have a two week shelf life if refrigerated at 32º - 48ºF. Shelf life is about a week if left at room temperature.
