How to choose Guavas: The most important thing to consider when choosing a guava is the smell. Find a guava that smells sweet and it will taste good. Some discolorations on the skin are OK, just avoid any fruits with

obvious damage or rotting. A guava will yield when mild pressure is applied and this is a sign that the guava is ripe and ready to eat.

Climate and origin: Guavas originated in tropical portions of Central and South America, and are now widely cultivated in tropical climates all over the world. (zones 8-10 in the U.S.) Guava is a hearty plant and can be grown under green houses in colder climates.
Taste: Guava has a fragrant sweet taste and a mushy texture.

Miscellaneous information: The amount of vitamin C in guavas varies by type. Notably, a Strawberry Guava contains less than a quarter of the vitamin C found in a Common Guava. (Complete nutrient comparison)

Guava is a tropical fruit, cultivated mainly in the Asian countries. It is quite similar in shape to pear and has a rind that is green in color and changes to yellow when it becomes over-ripe. Inside the rind, which is consumed along with the fruit and not peeled, there is flesh that is either white or pinkish/reddish in color.
