RE: Guava Tree or Psidium guajava (Myrtaceae)

in #treetuesday6 years ago

Unusual taste, has pink flesh and pips so might be an acquired taste. Fresh is best locked up full of vitamins, canned also good, if you see them try them.

Benefits of guavas are aplenty and now we're going to talk about guava's nutritional value. A 100 gm serving of the fruit contains just 68 calories and 8.92 gm sugar, according to the data of United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Guavas are also rich in calcium as they contain 18 gm of the mineral per 100 gm of the fruit. It also contains 22 gm of magnesium per 100 gm of the fruit, as well as significant amounts of phosphorus and potassium- 40 and 417 gm per 100 gm, respectively.
