IAC-5 Guava Air Layered Healthy Fruit Plant

🍈 IAC-5 Guava Profile
1. Color
Outer Skin: When young, the fruit is a vibrant green. As it ripens, it transitions into a beautiful, smooth yellowish-green or pale yellow.

Inner Flesh (Pulp): The real showstopper is the inside. The flesh boasts a deep, vibrant creamy pink to bright red color.

2. Texture
Flesh: The pulp has a thick, meaty, and smooth consistency. It is highly valued because it has a smaller seed core than wild varieties, meaning you get a much higher flesh-to-seed ratio.

Seeds: The seeds are small and hard (typical of true berries), but because they are concentrated in a smaller central core, they are less intrusive when eating.

Skin: It features a relatively thick and firm skin. While edible, this thick skin is intentionally bred into the variety because it makes the fruit hardy, allowing it to be transported over long distances without easily bruising.

3. Taste & Aroma
Flavor: It is distinctly sweet with a rich, tropical profile and a very mild, pleasant acidity that balances the sweetness.

Aroma: Highly aromatic. A ripe IAC-5 will fill a room with a strong, sweet, and classic musky guava fragrance.

4. Size & Weight
Size: This is classified as a medium to large guava variety.

Weight: Depending on the growing conditions and soil nutrition, individual fruits typically range anywhere from 150 to 300+ grams.

💡 Quick Summary For Use Cases
Thanks to its firm texture, vibrant interior, and high sugar content, the IAC-5 is highly versatile:

Fresh Eating: Great for slicing up due to the high flesh-to-seed ratio.

Processing: The deep pink color and sweet profile make it a favorite for industrial juicing, smoothies, and making gourmet pink guava jams or pastes.
