Guava is the fourth most widely grown fruit crop in India. It is known as
‘The poor man’s fruit’. The guava originated in South America. From there the
Spanish and Portuguese traders brought it to Asia, Africa and islands in the
Pacific.
The guava is consumed in different ways worldwide. In Hawaii, guava is used in
punches, ice-creams and milkshakes. The guava is ideal for making jelly. It is
also used to make sherbets and squashes. In India, the guava fruit is eaten raw,
sometimes with a pinch of salt and pepper.
