Strawberry guava

Psidium cattleianum

The Strawberry guava is also known as the Cattley guava or Chinese guava and is a native tree of Brazil.

The Strawberry guava matures from a light green to a deep magenta color when fully ripe and are soft to the touch.

Strawberry guavas have a thin skin that tastes of rose petals. The creamy white interior has small round seeds that are typically swallowed whole.

The small fruits have a sweet aromatic flavor that is reminiscent of strawberry, passionfruit and lime zest.

Strawberry guava (Psidium littoralei) is also known as cattley guava, purple guava, or Chinese guava, although it is native to the Americas. Strawberry guava generally grows to heights between six and 14 feet (2 to 4 meters), although they can grow taller. As the name suggests, this tree usually produces a red fruit, but yellow fruits are also possible. The fruit on the strawberry guava is similar to that of the common guava: a fragrant, juicy pulp with seeds. However, the flavor of this type of guava is said to have a strawberry essence and is considered to be less musky. It can be eaten fresh or used to make puree, juice, jam, or jelly.
