Rio Branco Pink Guava Air Layered Healthy Fruit Plant

Rio Branco Pink Guava Profile
Size
Average Dimensions: Typically medium to large, ranging from 6 to 10 cm (2.5 to 4 inches) in diameter.

Shape: Often beautifully round or slightly pear-shaped (pyriform).Weight: A healthy fruit usually weighs between 150g and 350g. Because they are frequently used in the juicing and pulp industries, they are bred to be heavy and dense with juice.

TextureOuter Skin: The skin is quite thin and edible. It can be smooth but often features a slightly bumpy, textured surface.

Flesh/Pulp: Pink guavas are known for being much softer, juicier, and less gritty than many white guava varieties. The texture is smooth, dense, and pulpy—almost melting in the mouth when fully ripe.

Central Core: The middle contains a pocket of very juicy, soft pulp. While it does contain seeds, pink guavas often have smaller or slightly fewer hard seeds compared to wild white varieties, making them easier to process into purees.

ColourExterior (Skin): Starts as a deep, rich green. As it ripens on the tree, it transitions to a bright yellow or a soft yellowish-green. Occasionally, depending on sun exposure, the skin may develop a faint pinkish blush.

Interior (Flesh): This is the star feature! Slicing it open reveals a vibrant light pink to a deep rosy-red interior. This striking color is caused by the presence of lycopene, the same powerful natural antioxidant found in tomatoes and watermelons.
