The White Guava varietal is a popular version of the tropical fruit, known for its creamy texture and sweet pulpy flesh. It has a distinctive green skin which turns yellowish-green as it ripens. As the name suggests, this varietal has pure white flesh on the inside in contrast to the common pink-fleshed variety.
Some of the characteristics that distinguish this varietal include its slightly elongated shape and fewer seeds compared to other varieties. The taste of the white guava is described as unique, being sweet with a hint of sourness, and it is also known for its strong, pleasant aroma.
The White Guava varietal is an excellent source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, potassium, and other nutrients. It is often used in the kitchen for the preparation of juices, jellies, jams, salads, or simply eaten raw.
Though traditionally native to Central and South America, it is cultivated worldwide in many tropical and subtropical regions.
