The guavas edible skin contains 218mg of vitamin C,which is five times more than an orange. It is also a good source of calcium,potassium,iron,vitamin A,and vitamin B9(folic acid,folate). It tastes like a combination of pear and strawberry; it’s seeds are edible. Being that it’s an tropical fruit it doesn’t need to be refrigerated.
