Guayaba Guava

Guava is a fruit that can be found fresh in the produce section. Guava can also be found canned, in varying consistencies from large chunks in syrup to a smooth paste. A Cuban meal always ends with a piece of guava and cheese. Fresh guava should be eaten when they are yellow and slightly soft. If bought green they will ripen at room temperature in a paper bag. Though not very common, guava can sometimes be found as a frozen puree to be used in drinks, custards, or cakes.
