Questions about Strawberry guava
How do you know when a strawberry guava is ripe?
A ripe fruit gives slightly when pressed and smells sweet and fragrant. If it is firm and faint-smelling, leave it at room temperature until it softens; avoid fruit with mould or leaking patches.
Do you eat the skin and seeds of strawberry guava?
Yes. The skin is edible, and the small hard seeds can be eaten too; rinse the fruit and bite into it like a small plum. For a smooth purée, cook the fruit until soft and press it through a sieve to remove the seeds.
How do you make strawberry guava jam?
Simmer washed, halved fruit with a little water for about 15–20 minutes, until soft, then sieve out the seeds. Weigh the purée and simmer it with sugar and lemon juice until thick; the fruit’s natural pectin helps it set.
How should you store strawberry guavas?
Keep firm fruit at room temperature until it softens, then refrigerate it and use it within a few days. You can freeze whole fruit or seedless purée for longer storage.
What goes well with strawberry guava?
Its sweet, aromatic flavour works well with lime, ginger, chilli and coconut. Use it in smoothies, fruit salads, chutney, or a sauce for yoghurt and pancakes.
Can you use strawberry guava instead of strawberries?
You can use it in smoothies, sauces and cooked desserts, but its seeds are firmer and its flavour is more tropical and guava-like. Sieve cooked fruit for a smooth result, and add a little lime if you want a brighter taste.
Is strawberry guava a source of vitamin C?
Yes. It is a source of vitamin C: a 100 g portion provides 37 mg.
