I love the Guava flavor in drinks and stuff but don't necessarily care for the texture, i'm definitely a texture person. They actually make these things jarred in syrup, obviously not as healthy as the fresh ones but I'll sometimes mix them into smoothies and stuff although it creates a ton of seeds if you don't take them out first.
My girlfriends family when somone is sick or even just sometimes in winter time will make a drink where you boil cinnamin sticks and guava and make kind of a tea out of them, its pretty good
These certainly were mushy inside. That is interesting that a tea can be made out of them.
