Guava Paste

Discover the delightful taste of Guava Paste from Candesa, a tropical indulgence available at Afritibi. This ready-to-eat guava paste captures the essence of the guava fruit, native to Central America and now cultivated in various countries around the world. Known for its pear-like shape and vibrant flesh that ranges in color from red and pink to white, guava is not only delicious but also packed with essential minerals and vitamins.

Nutritional Benefits

Guava is a powerhouse of nutrition, offering a rich source of calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium, which contributes to its diuretic properties. It’s also high in fiber (6g/100g), making it incredibly beneficial for digestive health. Remarkably, guava stands out for its vitamin C content, containing an average of 243 mg/100g, which can peak up to 900 mg/100g. This makes it one of the richest sources of vitamin C, surpassing even citrus fruits and kiwi, ensuring that just a small portion can meet the daily recommended intake. Additionally, guava is noted for its high antioxidant content, particularly in polyphenols, which are predominantly found in the fruit’s peel.

Culinary Uses

Guava paste is versatile in its culinary applications. It can be used raw and diced to add a fresh twist to salads, mixed with diced salmon and green apple for a refreshing combination, or cooked in slices seasoned with lemon and chili pepper. It pairs wonderfully with fish, poultry, and white meats, and can be transformed into a delicate sauce by simmering with onions, vinegar, sugar, and spices like allspice and cinnamon. Guava paste particularly shines when served with fresh goat cheese, offering a sublime taste experience.
