What it is

Guava powder is made from dried and ground guavas, a tropical fruit native to Mexico and Central America. The fruit is processed to remove moisture and then milled into a fine powder, preserving its natural flavor and nutrients.

Why it's used

Guava powder is used to add a distinct tropical fruit flavor and aroma to a variety of food products. It can act as a natural flavoring agent in sauces, baked goods, beverages, and confectionery, contributing a sweet and slightly tart taste.

Health notes

Guava powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated guava and its components, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its consumption at normal dietary levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from its use in food.

Allergen info

Guava powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
