The guava is one of the ancient fruit trees, planted in South America since ancient times. Due to its adaptability and robustness, the plant is cultivated as a plantation crop in all tropical countries of the world.
The plants bear pear-shaped, yellow-skinned fruits that weigh up to 150g and are 5-8 centimeters long. The sweet and sour superfruits are versatile and healthy. Their vitamin C content is remarkable at 200-400mg per 100g of pulp. Besides the vitamin, the fruits also contain active ingredients such as lycopene, tannins, vitamin A and vitamin B1.
