Product Description

Description/Taste
Thai guavas are generally the size of a softball with apple green skin that can range from bumpy to smooth. Creamy white flesh and very sweet. Works well in desserts especially in pies. Guava butter is a nice recipe for this item also. Vitamin C is this fruits middle name. The flesh is white with pale yellow seeds and tends to be drier than the pink type of guavas. Thai guavas are only mildly sweet and have very little fragrance. The crunchy flesh and hard seeds are both edible. 

Nutritional Value

Applications

Fresh guava spears can be pickled and used on their own or as an accompaniment to roasted chicken. Chopped Thai guava also goes well in sweet applications as an unusual pie filling.
