Pineapple guava is my new Farmers’ Market Find! They are currently in season and a great fruit to try. They have a green skin and cream colored flesh and have a texture similar to a pear. Pineapple guava has a tropical flavor with slight papaya and pineapple undertones.
When to buy: Pineapple guava are ripe when the skin is green and they are slightly soft. It can last in the refrigerator for about a week.
How to prepare: To eat, simply cut in half and scoop out with a spoon (similar to how you would eat a kiwi). They are small and really easy to transport so great to take for snacks at work. They would also be great in a fall fruit salad.
Each fruit is about the size of a large egg and contains ~25 calories, 2.5g fiber and 30 mg Vit C.
