Guava

There are many varieties of these small, tropical fruits. They may be round, oval, or pear-shaped, with aromatic flesh that may be green, pink, yellow, red, or white, sometimes full of seeds and sometimes nearly seedless. The flavor is complex and ranges from sweet to sour. Select tender fruits with a full aroma.

Cut in half and scoop out the flesh. For many uses, the flesh is puréed in a food processor or blender, seeds and all. Alternatively, cut into dice or other shapes as desired.
