Single serving of tropical guava juice. Guava fruits may be round, ovoid or pear-shaped, 2 - 4 inches long, and have 4 or 5 protruding floral remnants (sepals) at the apex. Guava varieties differ widely in flavor and seediness. The better guava varieties are soft when ripe, creamy in texture with a rind that softens to be fully edible. The guava flesh may be white, pink, yellow, or red. The sweet, musky odor of the guava is pungent and penetrating. The seeds are numerous but small and, in good varieties, fully edible. The quality of the fruit of guavas grown in cooler areas is often disappointing.
