Grown in Mexico year-round, HLB Specialties’ white guavas have a sweet and tangy flavor. They are rich in vitamin C and fiber and considered a digestive aid and immune booster. Ready to eat when the skin is yellow. 
GUAVAS ARE A GREAT SNACKING FRUIT: Just rinse and eat them bite by bite or cut in quarters for younger children. Just watch for the hard seeds and be careful not to bite down too hard! Best to swallow seeds whole or strain them when juicing. 
ENJOY GUAVAS IN A TROPICAL FRUIT JUICE! Rinse, cut, and blend with water and ice. Add your preferred sweetener as needed. Strain the juice and enjoy!

Did you know? Guavas are loaded with vitamin C!🌺Just wash and enjoy bite by bite. Watch out for the seeds, while edible, they are pretty hard, so best to strain or swallow whole.
