Guava is a common sweet fruit found in India and many other places around the
world.
Guavas are plants in the Myrtle family (Myrtaceae) genus Psidium (meaning
"pomegranate" in Latin), which contains about 100 species of tropical shrub. On
ripening it turns yellow in color. Rich in vitamin C, this fruit is a rich source of
oxalate ions whose content varies during the different stages of ripening.
Guavas have a pronounced and typical fragrance, similar to lemon rind but less
in strength.
