    In this episode of In The Kitchen With Matt, I will show you how to eat the Mexican Guava also known as the white guava or Mexican White Guava. I will also do a taste test and tell you what the Mexican Guava tastes like. I love guavas! There are so many different kinds of them as well. They are native to Mexico, Central America, Northern South America, and the Caribbean, but have long been cultivated all over the world. They grow really well in Southern California, Florida, Arizona, Texas, and most southern States. China and India are the two largest producers of guavas. Growing up we had a Pineapple guava tree in our backyard, it was awesome! My mom would make jelly out of it. This is the first guava I will be showing here on my channel, I can't wait to show you more! Let's get started.

    I recently discovered these since I moved to Mexico. I use them to make a fruit compote. I simmer them in prune juice with other fruits - I've used plums, apples, and strawberries. Then you can add a cinnamon stick or some freshly cut ginger or turmeric and let it all simmer. It's delicious served over ice cream, with french toast, or even served with pork.

    I think i just had my 1st guava. They look just like your demo ones. It's very tasty and user-friendly, which is awesome. The tiny seeds of mine are hard as rocks. I swallowed most & spit out some. They also give off a strong, pleasant odor. It would be great if they're available and usually always in good tasty condition all year long like bananas. Hopefully, most will be edible, with no problems like most bananas we purchase up here in New York. Bananas and pineapples up here in New York, you practically can never purchase bad ones. Up here, it's very difficult to get a good papaya. I look forward to trying those more juicy looking pineapple guavas you mentioned. Thanks and keep up with your thorough, informative videos regarding all the variety of delicious, nutritious fruits that should be made easily and readily available to every single human being on our amazing planet earth 🌏

    First timer … all the seeds got stuck in my teeth. I had to chew gum to get the seeds out.
    Personally, I didn’t like the smell as they sat on my table. Maybe it takes time to get used to. That’s probably why I threw them out the first time I brought them.
    I think the best solution is to juice them … and maybe strain the seeds.
    The ones from my store are really small, but I’ve seen some online that are large.

    I bought some little guavas like this, and they got really ripe and delicious and fragrant--softer than yours I think. Much like the smell and taste of passionfruit but with its own character. The seeds though were too hard to chew without hurting my teeth. I wouldn't recommend people to chomp down on just any guava seeds because if the seeds are like mine they could damage teeth or dental work. I think if someone gets the hard seeds in the small guavas they are supposed to swallow them from what I have read and have seen in other videos. But I actually found this video trying to find more info on what people did about the hard seeds because cutting them out removes so much of the delicious fruit!

      @inthekitchenwithmatt  9 месяцев назад +1

      The very middle of the fruit can have lots of seeds. I recommend just spitting them out if you don't want to chew or swallow them. You Dentist will thank you haha. Or if you have a batch with particularly lots of seeds, make a jam or jelly with it, so you will strain out the seeds. Or you can also just eat around the center. But in general guavas have lots of seeds. The pineapple guava is one of the exceptions where the seeds are super easy to eat.

    Excellent, thorough video! Thanks much👍🌟 So the fully ripe ones are softer and more like a ripe plum or even fig like? And the greener ones are firmer and more like an apple? Do you know if it's considered an acid, sub-acid or sweet fruit? I guess when fully ripe it's closer to being a sweet fruit and when greener it's more like being an acid fruit? Hmm, don't know. 😊 If we don't fully chew the seeds or just swallow them, do they pass right out no problem? 🤔

    I bought a guava because there is a book I am reading that talks about the fat burning properties and I need that. Well I never had one so I took it out and peeled it. Then I cut it in half and there was a ball of seeds and a thinner outside. So I wondered if I just eat the rim or just eat the ehole thing. I had just made my salad and I was starved so I just went to your channel to find out what parts to eat and there you were going on and on about where they grow and what ones you ate etc etc and I am starving waiting to find out what I could eat. So I thought maybe the center is bad for you but if this guy doesn’t tell me I’m so hungry I’ll just eat the whole thing even if it kills me!!

      lol yes they can get hard. Still edible, the point in the video was, that if you eat them they are not going to hurt you, meaning not toxic or poisonous like some fruit seeds. Other varieties of guava have softer seeds and not so many seeds. These Mexican white guavas are probably best juiced or made into jam or jelly where the seeds are removed.

Actually I was hoping your video would show how to process them into juice or something else. Now I understand why most guava products ARE nectar or juice. And I have even more appreciation for pineapple guavas, which don't have those pesky seeds.

      Yes, but the point is they are edible, doesn't mean you have to eat them. But if you eat them or swallow them by accident, its not like poison. That is the main point. This variety of guava seems to have the hardest seeds of the ones I have tried. But a lot of people use these for something other than eating them plain/fresh. They use them for jams and jellies, smoothies, etc.
