Guava (Psidium guajava) is a tropical fruit native to Central America, now cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. The fruit is typically round or oval with green or yellow skin and varies in flesh color from white and yellow to pink and red. Known for its sweet and slightly tangy flavor, guava is not only delicious but also packed with numerous health benefits.
Key Benefits of Guava
