The Plant: Guava

The guava tree (Psidium guajava) belongs to the Myrtaceae family and is native to tropical regions of the Americas. It is a low-growing tree with tawny-colored bark, small white flowers, and obovate leaves. Its fruit, guava, has a roundish or ovoid form, smooth or slightly wrinkled skin, and its color varies from green or white to yellow, with pulp ranging from white to reddish orange.

Guava is high in nutritional value, mainly due to its exceptional levels of vitamin C (180 to 300 mg per 100g of fruit), aiding in tissue repair and protection. It also contains pro-vitamin A, vitamin B1, and mineral salts such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron, which nourish hair and skin.
