Guavas
Egyptian guavas are a tropical fruit prized for their aromatic, sweet flavor and vibrant green or yellow skin. The fruit has a creamy texture, and pale pink or white flesh speckled with small seeds. Guavas can vary in size and shape, but they are generally round or oval. Known for their refreshing taste, guavas are enjoyed fresh, in juices, or as part of desserts and salads
Guavas are incredibly nutritious, providing high levels of vitamins C and A, which support immune function and eye health. They are also abundant in dietary fiber, which promotes digestion and contributes to maintaining a healthy weight. Guavas also provide antioxidants such as lycopene and flavonoids, which assist in safeguarding the body against oxidative stress and inflammation
Consuming Egyptian guavas boosts immune health, improves digestion, and supports skin health. The high vitamin C content enhances immune function and collagen production, while the dietary fiber promotes healthy digestion and can help regulate blood sugar levels. Antioxidants in guavas reduce inflammation and may lower the risk of chronic diseases
Guava trees are typically planted in spring or early summer. They flourish in warm, sunny environments with well-drained soil. The fruit develops throughout the summer and is usually ready for harvest from late summer to early autumn, from August to October. Guavas are picked when they are slightly soft to the touch and have a strong, fruity aroma, ensuring optimal flavor and ripeness
