Guavas From our Garden
Guavas Nutritional value
Guavas are rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, with moderate levels of folic acid. Having a generally broad, low-calorie profile ofessential nutrients, a single common guava (P. guajava) fruit contains about four times the amount of vitamin C as an orange.[6]

However, nutrient content varies across guava cultivars. Although the strawberry guava (P. littorale var. cattleianum) has only 25% of the amount found in more common varieties, its total vitamin C content in one serving (90 mg) still provides 100% of the Dietary Reference Intake.[7]
