Guava (scientific name: Psidium guajava) is a tropical fruit native to Central and South America, now widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. The fruit is round or oval, with green or yellow skin, and has juicy, sweet flesh rich in vitamin C and fiber. Guava can be eaten raw, juiced, or used to make jams and desserts. Its leaves are also commonly used in traditional medicine due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
