Pink Guava

Availability: Year-Round
Origin: Mexico

Tropical, aromatic, and deeply fragrant, Pink Guava is a standout among specialty fruits. Beneath its thin, pale green skin, you’ll find soft, dense pink flesh with a sweet, floral flavor that hints at strawberry and pear. It is typically more aromatic and tender than white guava, which is firmer with a more subtle flavor.

Slice and enjoy fresh, seeds and all, or blend into smoothies and aguas frescas for a rich tropical base. Pink guava is also ideal for jams, pastries, and savory sauces, pairing beautifully with citrus, chile, and fresh herbs.

To ripen, leave at room temperature until slightly soft and fragrant. Once ripe, store in the refrigerator and enjoy within a few days for the best flavor and texture.
