Hi Len,
Thank you for posting the health benefits of guava, when I was in the Philippines we have a lot of guava trees and I always enjoy eating them. I really miss it, we don't have much guave here in Sydney if there is any, they will be very expensive.
Thanks for the informative article.
Excellent article :) I love the pictures and the list you gave of health benefits :) I've just recently discovered Guava fruit juice as a healthy alternative to orange or apple juice and I'm going to tell all my friends and family about it. This article will be really helpful in doing that. Thanks :)
Could you please give some advice on juicing a guava? What's the best way to get all those little seeds separated from the thick juice? Thanks!
i like the article and the list, (which proved to be very helpful during a school project). It was very informin and provided me with information i did not know.
The anti-oxidant power of guava is just behind blueberry but taste and smell much better and cost much lower too. In Malaysia you can easily get a kilograme for less than USD1.00. Truly Malaysian are living in Luckyland and yet not knowing; but sneered at their own wonderful tropical fruits by stuffing themselve into obesity with imported junkfood...including cold pizza dish.....senyum kambing.
I was eating a guava (we have a guava tree which produces A LOT of guava) and i wanted to learn about the benefits of this fruit and came across this website. Just wanted to thank you for sharing all this information. The information answered all my questions. Thanks!
