IAC-7 Guava Air Layered Healthy Fruit Plant

🍐 IAC-7 Guava Profile
1. Description
The IAC-7 is a white-fleshed guava variety. It is highly valued in commercial agriculture due to its heavy yield, vigorous growth, and excellent resistance to common environmental stressors. Because of its high pectin content and strong aromatic properties, it is considered a gold standard for making juices, jams, and guava paste (goiabada).

2. Color
Skin: When immature, the skin is a vibrant green. As it ripens, it transitions to a smooth, soft yellowish-green.

Flesh (Pulp): It features a thick, creamy white interior pulp.

3. Texture
Outside: The outer skin is relatively smooth compared to rougher varieties like the L-49.

Inside: The flesh is firm and dense with a thick, meaty wall (mesocarp). It has a rich, creamy consistency when processed.

4. Taste & Aroma
Flavor: Unlike some strictly sweet fresh-eating varieties, the IAC-7 has a distinct, sharp sweetness balanced by a notably higher acidity. This sweet-and-tart balance is what makes its flavor "pop" when cooked down into sweets or blended into juices.

Aroma: It possesses an incredibly intense, pleasant, and musky tropical aroma.
