Guava beats the orange for vitamin C
Guava is one of the richest fruit sources of vitamin C. Weight for weight, a common guava has about four times as much as an orange.
The goyave de Chine is not from China
The small red or yellow goyave de Chine that Mauritians pick in the hills is not from China at all. It is native to Brazil, and it has spread so well in Mauritius that it is now considered an invasive plant in the island's forests.
Goes well with
- Cream cheese, goat's cheese or brie. Guava and cheese is a classic pairing in Latin America
- Warm toast or a buttery croissant
- Plain yoghurt
- A pinch of chilli and a squeeze of lime
- Flaky pastry or shortbread
