White Guava's have bright yellowish-green peels, and creamy white meat inside. They have more sugar, Vitamin C, and more seeds than pink guavas. They are less sweet than pink guava, have less water content, and more fiber. They may be eaten skin, flesh, seeds and all, although some prefer to juice the fruit and strain out the pips. Firm white guavas are delicious out of hand or sliced into a salad, while the juice of softer, sweeter ones is delicious in mixed drinks, sorbets, preserves, and more.
Miami, FL
Nearly a decade ago, Miami began selling fruit at local farmers' markets, initially using a bicycle to pick up produce from nearby farms. As demand grew, Miami Fruit expanded, transitioning to car and van transport.
By 2016, prompted by requests from Facebook friends nationwide, Miami teamed up with partner Edelle Schlegel to establish Miami Fruit officially. Today, they collaborate with numerous local growers and operate their own seven-acre farm. The fruit they source usually ships the day after it’s picked, and it’s oftentimes fruit that simply can’t be found outside of the Tropics.
