Organic Guava Puree

Organic guava puree is made from ripe guavas that are washed, pureed, and often pasteurized. Guavas are tropical fruits native to Mexico and Central America, known for their sweet, musky flavor and edible seeds. The puree retains the fruit's natural color and taste.

Manufacturers use organic guava puree as a natural flavor and colorant, and for its texture. It adds a tropical fruit taste and aroma to a variety of products. It is commonly found in beverages, smoothies, yogurts, sorbets, jams, and baked goods.

Organic guava puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and dietary fiber. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated similar fruit purees, and JECFA has evaluated pectin, a common gelling agent found in fruit. At typical consumption levels, it is considered safe and contributes nutrients to the diet.
