Health Benefits

Guava is a popular tropical fruit and very common ingredient in juices, jams, rums, jellies, and more. Nowadays, it’s cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions.

Guava has an impressive nutritional profile — it’s even richer in vitamin C than oranges, and richer in potassium than bananas. It can also be very reasonably priced, and is often known as “the poor man’s apple”.

Guava is also known for being carotenoid-rich. Some of the especially impressive benefits of carotenoids include:

  • Improves eye health.
  • Improves cardiovascular health.
  • Reduces inflammation, which helps protect against heart disease.
  • Increases antioxidants, thus better protecting the body’s cells from free radicals.
  • Prevents the growth of cancer cells, including lung cancer and skin cancer.

What Fruit Can Go with Guava Juice?

Guava is a very forgiving fruit in juices. It pairs best with tropical fruits and acidic fruits, including apples, bananas, kiwi, mango, orange, pineapple, plum, strawberries, and coconuts.

Guava juice is best served chilled over ice cubes. You can also try adding ginger, honey, or a pinch of cinnamon to help spice things up.

1. Strawberries

Strawberries are loved the world over. They are versatile and work well in many different dishes, sweet or savory.

Aside from basic homemade juices, strawberry and guava can also complement a little liquor. Brandy, champagne, rum, sake — feel free to choose for yourself!

2. Pineapple

When combined, pineapple and guava create a true blast of tropical flavor. They make a sweet, sour, and refreshing taste combination.

You can easily make an ombre guava cocktail out of pineapple-infused rum or piña colada. Also, consider combining mint leaves and kosher salt to make a mouth-watering welcome drink at summer parties!

How Long Does It Last?

Guava juice can last up to a week in the fridge. This can be prolonged if the pulp is removed before juicing.

Apart from how it’s stored, enzymes and bacteria are the two factors that affect freshness the most. So what else is added to the juice can make a big difference.

Most bacteria are neutrophiles — they grow the most at a neutral pH (around 7). Therefore, juices that contain high-acid fruits (with pH of 4.6 or below) are the least to be prone to spoilage.
