Guava
2023.09.02
The fruit is collected all year round in Okinawa, but the heaviest harvest is from August to September. Guavas seem to grow best in well-drained, mildly acidic soil, but many households grow them as garden plants, as they are basically soil-independent and vigorous plants.The fruits are edible. They are spherical or pear-shaped, 3-10 cm in diameter. The skin is thin and fine-textured, with a colour ranging from light green to yellow, turning pink or red at maturity, depending on the variety. The white or orange flesh contains many small, hard seeds. Note that the seeds can cause belching if consumed in large quantities. The scent of banshiru is a mixed bag, but I like its oriental sweetness.
Guava is best known for guava juice made by squeezing its fruit. It is the guava leaves that are the focus of attention, and guava tea made from the dried leaves has long been enjoyed in Okinawa as an effective tea for diabetes, diarrhoea, toothache, mouth ulcers and stomach ulcers.
Guava is cultivated for food in tropical countries and includes varieties such as Strawberry, Costa Rica, Apple, Guinea, Cutley and Mountain. The fruit is often consumed as is or squeezed to make guava juice, which is well known. - From Wikipedia Encyclopaedia. -
