About Guava
Southern Bahia - Brazil
🌱 Guava: Origin, Benefits and Industrial Applications
Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is a tropical fruit native to Central and South America, widely cultivated in Brazil. Recognized for its sweet flavor and striking aroma, guava is rich in nutrients and extremely versatile, being used in various food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
In Brazil, guava cultivation is prominent, with the South of Bahia being one of the regions with the largest production, especially due to the favorable climatic conditions and fertile soil, which guarantee high-quality fruits.
🌿 Characteristics of Guava
Guava is considered a superfood due to its nutritional richness:
- Rich in Vitamin C: up to 4 times more than oranges.
- Source of soluble fiber: contributes to good intestinal function.
- Natural antioxidants: such as lycopene and carotenoids, which fight free radicals.
- Low glycemic index: ideal for balanced diets.
- B vitamins and minerals such as potassium, iron and magnesium.
🌿 Guava Harvest Season in Southern Bahia
Guava is grown all year round, but the main harvest in southern Bahia occurs between January and April, with a second harvest between September and November. The region offers a warm and humid climate, ideal for the complete ripening of the fruit, favoring a pulp with an intense color, strong flavor and high content of soluble solids — characteristics desired by the industry.
