Pink guava is favored not only because of its vibrant pink flesh and juicy texture but also because of its potential health benefits.
Introduction
Pink guava is widely consumed in tropical and subtropical areas as a fresh fruit snack. Besides, it is often used in tea drinks, juices, smoothies, and desserts. Pink guava is known as a highly nutritious fruit, along with many health advantages. In this article, FGC will introduce more useful information about this wonderful fruit.
What is pink guava?
Pink guavas are fig-shaped fruits with a diameter of 6 to 10 centimeters. Their skins are smooth green and turn golden yellow as they ripen. A pink guava has a pink and semi-soft flesh with many small yellowish edible seeds. Because it is a tropical fruit, it contains some distinctive fragrant notes of papaya, passion fruit, melon, or pear. The pink guava has a sweet taste and a soft and juicy texture when ripened.
Pink guavas originate from Central and South America and currently have been cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Generally, pink guava’s seasons are in the late spring and summer. Their pink color results from the density of the carotenoid pigment, which also gives tomatoes and carrots their signature hues. Depending on the concentration of carotenoids, the color might range from light to dark pink. Pink guavas can be eaten directly or used to make beverages and desserts thanks to their aromatic flavors and sweet taste.
What is pink guava good for?
Pink guavas contain many nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and fiber, which can contribute to our overall health.
Good for skin
The large amount of vitamin C in one pink guava can contribute to collagen formation, which keeps your skin glowing and elastic. Enjoying this fruit can help remove free radicals and harmful substances that are the factors leading to aging signs and wrinkles. Moreover, pink guavas also maintain moisture, bringing healthy skin and a younger appearance.
Good for immunity
Pink guavas are considered one of the richest sources of vitamin C – an important component in maintaining healthy immunity. A low level of vitamin C might lead to an increasing risk of infections and illnesses. Therefore, consuming food or drinks containing pink guava is a fantastic way to build a strong immune system.
Good for digestion
Since pink guavas are known as a rich source of dietary fiber, they may benefit our digestive system. Consuming more guavas is suggested to enhance bowel movements and avoid constipation. Some constipation symptoms can be lessened, including stomach aches and irritation. Besides, as pink guavas contain lots of water, they also help your body stay hydrated, preventing digestive issues.
Good for heart health
It is believed that the great amount of potassium and soluble fiber found in pink guavas are beneficial in keeping a healthy heart. While fiber can assist in the decrease in cholesterol and LDL levels, getting enough potassium may lessen the risk of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Frequent consumption of pink guava is also proven to regulate blood pressure and increase good HDL cholesterol levels.
Is pink guava better than white guava?
When it comes to guava varieties, some people might be confused about those with pink and white pulp. Both are rich in vitamins and minerals and have many potential health benefits, but which is better?
Their colors are the most obvious difference between the two varieties. It is because of the carotenoids which bring the hue to the flesh. The taste and flavor of pink and white forms also differ slightly. Pink guavas are usually more fragrant with a soft and creamy texture. Meanwhile, white-fleshed guavas are more acidic and have a grainy characteristic and milder flavors.
Additionally, the pink guava is believed to have a higher water content but less sugar, carbohydrates, and starch than the white one. On the other hand, white varieties contain more vitamin C and seeds. Antioxidants are abundant in white-fleshed guava, but the pink-fleshed variant possesses much higher. Therefore, pink guava might be a better option if you prefer juicier fruits. Meanwhile, white guava can suit you if you want to enjoy a firmer texture with a higher vitamin C content.
