Guava Feijoa Feijoa Sellowiana
The fruit is oblong or slightly cilindrical,
4 to 6 cm long and 3 to 4cm wide, with the persistent calyx
segments adhering to the apex. The thin skin remains deep
green. The fruit emits a strong sweet long-lasting perfume,
even before it is fully ripe. The thick, white, granular,
flesh and the translucent central pulp enclosing the seeds
are sweet or subacid, suggesting a combination of pineapple
and guava or pineapple and strawberry in flavor.
