Rwanda Pink Guava Air Layered Healthy Fruit Plant

🍈 Rwanda Pink Guava Sensory & Physical Profile
1. Size
Diameter: Generally ranges from 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches).

Weight: Typically weighs between 100g and 250g per fruit, depending on maturity and specific local farming conditions.

Shape: Mostly round (globose) to slightly pear-shaped (pyriform).

2. Colour
Exterior (Skin): When immature, the skin is a vibrant, deep green. As it ripens, it shifts to a light yellowish-green or pale yellow, sometimes showing a faint pinkish blush on the surface.

Interior (Flesh): Slicing it open reveals the star of the show. The inner flesh features a striking vibrant pink to deep reddish-pink hue. This beautiful blush is caused by the natural presence of lycopene (the same powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes).

3. Texture
Exterior: The skin can be slightly rough or bumpy to the touch, but it is entirely edible.

Interior Flesh: Pink guavas are known for being less gritty than white guavas. The outer flesh (near the rind) is firm yet yielding, while the central seed cavity is soft, pulpy, and incredibly juicy.

Seeds: The central pulp contains numerous small, hard, yellowish-colored seeds. While they are completely edible, some people prefer to scoop them out or strain them when making juice due to their hardness.

4. Taste & Aroma (The Flavour Profile)
Aroma: Highly aromatic. A ripe Rwanda pink guava fills the room with a strong, sweet, and musky-floral fragrance.

Flavour: It leans heavily on the sweeter side of the guava spectrum with a higher sugar content than white varieties. The flavor is often described as a complex, tropical cross between a sweet pear, a ripe strawberry, and a hint of papaya.
