On
the eve of Christmas, Ditas and Carenna treated David and I with
rib-eyes steak dinner she purchased from Costco. Besides the rib eye
steaks, she brought with her eight Mexican Guavas. It has been a while
since I have tasted Guavas. Thank you Ditas and Carenna.
The last time I have the common guavas was about 10 years ago from the fruits of the Guava Trees in my orchard gardens at Chateau Du Mer, Amoingon, Boac, Marinduque.
For those of you who are not familiar with this fruit, here's a brief description of the fruit and its health benefits from Wikipedia.
Guava is a common tropical fruit cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions. The common guava Psidium guajava (lemon guava, apple guava) is a small tree in the myrtle family (Myrtaceae), native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America. Related plants may also be called guavas; they belong to other species (in Psidium) or genera (in Myrteae), such as the pineapple guava, Feijoa sellowiana. In 2019, 55 million tonnes of guavas were produced worldwide, led by India with 45% of the total. Botanically, guavas are berries.
There are several varieties popular in tropical and subtropical countries regions in the World. One of the varieties I like are pink
inside the fruit. The variety I have here in Fair Oaks, is the
Pineapple Guava( relative of the common guava), Feijoa Sellowiana.
