A round, tropical fruit with a sweet, tangy flavor and crunchy little seeds that make every bite fun!
Bayabas (bah-YAH-bas) – The Filipino name for guava.
Guavas smell amazing — sweet and flowery, like candy from nature! The skin can be eaten, and inside you’ll find soft pink or white flesh full of tiny edible seeds that crunch like sprinkles.
Filipinos love eating guava fresh with a sprinkle of salt or turning it into juice on hot days. It’s also used in sinigang sa bayabas, a warm soup that tastes both savory and fruity!
Guavas grow all year in the Philippines, but they’re extra plentiful from August to November.
Guavas are full of vitamin C — even more than oranges! They help you stay strong, keep your tummy healthy, and make your skin glow.
