What it is

Pink guava is a tropical fruit, a variety of guava with pink flesh. It is native to Mexico and Central America but is now grown in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. The fruit is eaten fresh, or processed into juices, jams, and other food products.

Why it's used

Pink guava is used primarily as a flavoring agent and for its natural color in food products. Manufacturers add it to impart a sweet, tropical taste and a pinkish hue. It is commonly found in ice cream, yogurt, jams, jellies, sorbets, and beverages.

Health notes

Pink guava is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a good source of vitamin C and dietary fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated guava and its extracts, but no specific numeric limits are set for its use as a flavoring. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
