Okay okay, you win! 😂 I Changed the title to "unripe guava" Maybe I've spent too much time in South East Asia, but I have never been served an apple guava that wasn't hard as a rock. My mistake for figuring that was the typical way of doing it. I know you can eat them soft and I have, but honestly I prefer it hard with a side of chili sauce. I specifically mean apple guava, there are many guava varieties that I wouldn't want unripe. I put a lot of work into this episode so please don't dismiss the video just because these guavas are hard. People do eat them this way and the recipes are good.
Most of the guavas they sell here in middle America are unripe. However, ripe ones are available FROZEN in our Mexican markets, and they are quite good when thawed (or theen). That was a stupid afterthought.
Now all the comments about them being unripe are completely out of context 😂 Just imagine someone coming along in a month, reading comments and being very confused. All that aside, I doubt that many people will disregard your entire video. It's interesting to note that you can eat unripe guava. Here, we have a condiment made with unripe Mango, so it's not that much of a stretch. In my opinion, Guavas are the bomb, and I could not stay silent knowing that you didn't have the full experience 🐝 Time to set off on a quest to find a ripe one! Would love to hear what you think of the flavor and texture in contrast to this video.
I'm from Brazil. Guava is commonplace here. I've never even heard of seasoning it, but seems interesting. Tho I do think yours were unripe. Guava is very soft when ripe, and the skin should be almost yellow. When ripe they're very very sweet, soft and delicious. Much sweeter than the average American apple in my experience
We get tiny guavas (about the size of gilf balls or so) at the stores in eastern America. Where I live isn't near any oceans or any remotely tropical states. And there exactly as you described with a very distinct tropical taste and very sweet and soft when ripe and are very addicting and delicious
It's funny watching city people review things,they know everything,and yet always do it wrong,but they do vote,so not good. They tend to vote away thier freedom out of ignorance.
That fruit is definitely unripe, when the fruit is ripe it has a strong delicious hodor, it's soft and super sweet. You can just make a delicious juice, milkshake, "cascos de guayaba" and "mermelada". The leaves have also medicinal properties for the skin care.
@@raymuko I appreciate having the video rather than not having it, but if you're gonna bring attention to guava, at least represent it in a fair light. Imagine if I made a video about bananas when they were completely green or black from being overripe and then make the conclusion that they don't taste that good.
Having grown up on fresh guavas, those are about a week too early, lol. Guava should be soft when ripe, juicy and sweet. Even the bigger ones get soft when ripe.
waaaay too early, I ate those by the bucketload in south africa. havnt seen em once here in the UK :( i get by with the tins of guava from tesco, they do the trick.
@@plantedbasedman9845 I believe they riped off the tree, they were always ripe ont he floor.. Although they almost always had worms in em. Didnt stop me though, I just ate em and didnt look xD
@@SubjectiveFunny yes thank you. And do you think the unripe ones he bought in this clip would still be able to ripen at home if he would give it time?
Goiabada, basically a guava jelly that is really thick and sweet, sometimes even solid. It is usually used as an ingredient for a dessert or as a sweet just as it is. Tastes awesome with coalho cheese. Traditional recipe from Brazil.
I've been utilizing Mexican yellow guava by cutting off bud, then blending submerged in distilled water. And.. most importantly, strain juice into pitcher after blending it to remove the seeds. Sweeten to taste by blending in your favorite fruit, and a squeeze of lime
As guava approached a mango at a pool party, he said with a lear "the water's so inviting, want to jump in with me?" She turned him down flat, and when her friend asked the mango why she replied "mother said stay away from seedy dives!".
I loved, loved, LOVED the music in this episode! I know that takes a bunch of extra work, want you to know it's appreciated. Also, 5 recipes, big value! Good job.
I recently started focusing on Guavas, my local markets would always put them front and centre and I would ignore them until I started watching you, thanks!
Aren't those fruit just unripe? I've bought similar unripe guavas from ethnic supermarkets, but I think that it's simply hard to find good quality, ripe guavas in a temperate climate. Ripe guava out of hand are soft, somewhat sweet and creamy. Not hard
I would call it overripe and a different type of guava, better for making juice than eating raw. Crunchy guava is best to eat with chilli salt mixture.
That's what I'm thinking. I don't know how the larger varieties taste but fresh strawberry guava (pink inside) is incredibly soft, sweet, and flavorful when tree-ripened. They sell a "ripe" small and soft yellow variety at supermarkets where I live but they don't really have much taste.
the colours in the guava salad reminds me of christmas so that is what my new christmas salad will be this year , i have a strawberry and a pineapple guava trees growing in the garden so was looking for ways to use their fruit ty.
That is my favorite fruit! And you are actually eating it unripe. When guava is ripen is soft to the bite, never like biting on an apple. Is very creamy and the taste is very sweet as well as the aroma that gives to the surrounding area where it is placed. Once you try a ripen guava you will never forget it because there is nothing like it!
enjoyed watching you experiment with the fruit this time. I got a white guava from a guy that was growing it locally. It is firm and crispy, but there were parts that were 'ripe ripe' that were softer with much sweeter and fuller flavor.
I grew up eating guava, and it was one of my favorite fruit to eat out of hand. The ones I ate were yellow outside and pink inside when ripe and were like a cross between tomato and apple in texture (pretty soft and juicy) and were sweet, not too tart. I live in Canada now and it's impossible to find properly ripened ones here.
You can make an amazing guava fridge cheesecake. Sliced Swiss roll slightly drizzled with canned guava syrup, chopped canned guava on top, a can of sweetened condensed milk, half cup of lemon and tub of cream cheese all whisked together over top, layer of whipped cream. Refrigerate and serve. Very delicious.
I grew up with a small Guava tree in my backyard and I learned it is quite difficult tree to tend to in order to grow fruit of the best quality. They ripen alot like a plum so they become very soft and sweet. The aroma is unmistakable.
This is the ONLY time I have ever seen a guava eaten! I didn't even know what they looked like inside. I don't know what they taste like except your mysterious descriptions.
I've seen videos of those growing different guava varieties. Some of them are super hard, even when ripe while others are super soft, sweet, and aromatic.
Guava is very popular here in Brazil. I love the flavor of raw guava, specially the white one when it’s still crunchy (I have a purple guava tree in my front yard but it’s still a young plant that never fruit - it’a a rare variety). The pink variety is the most common here. There’s a dessert called goiabada that’s used to fill donuts, cakes and etc. Goiabada + white cheese is a famous combination called “Romeu e Julieta”.
Thanks for the ideas. I have a Mexican Guava variety, i believe. In my case, they have not ripened on the tree. Before they start to ripen the birds or fruit flies get them. Letting they ripen after picked has not worked. So these unripe guava recipes will come in handy next year. Have you considered doing a video on miracle fruit / miracle berry?
@@griffinc3263 Thanks much. Some how my searching failed to find them. Typically I have known then more as Miracle Fruit vs Miracle Berry. The video is well done. Despite the FDA ban they are available in the US now.
Adding this vid to my list of foods I’d like to try and make! There is a huge tree full of these fruits in my backyard. Sadly I had no idea how to eat them as I did not grow up ever seeing or knowing about these guavas. Luckily the fruits didn’t go to waste as an Indian family came by and took them all (yay, no waste!).
I don't know if those are very different from the common guavas we grow here in southern California, but when they are ripe and yellow, they are absolutely delicious (with the seeds removed) I have a strawberry guava, Psidium cattleianum, that makes a wonderful jelly. Common guava can be seeded and cooked with sugar and spices to make a very tasty chutney. It goes well with pork and chicken, but also makes a nice dessert served on top of vanilla ice cream.
I agree with a lot of the comments, just from the crunchy sound they're making they don't sound ripe just yet? Still cool you found ways to eat them like that but if you wait a couple more days for them to soften but still be firm, they are so good and so sweet. The inside can almost melt in your mouth if they're super ripe but not rotten. I've never had the pink one before but I think people say they smell and taste more floral?
I got one today, expecting it to be soft, biting into a slice, and realizing that it was unripe. So I just stuck it on a fork, turned on my gas stove, and cooked it over that for a bit, which actually made it taste a lot better and more like how I expected it to taste origionally
wow im actually early! Im about to watch your video... you really inspired me with the miracle fruit video... i even made my own miracle berry tasting video lol
I love Tajin spice on fruit. It's traditional and so good on mango, but it's also great on pineapple and pears too. I that it would be great on guava. I bought a box of 10 small bottles of Tajin on Amazon and I now carry one in my purse.. that's how much I love Tajin on fruit!
I had never heard of salted fruit until a couple years ago from I think Food Ranger's channel. I was with a friend from Sri Lanka last year, and there was some pineapple around and he was putting salt on it. I think I was the only one who was familiar with it, but I tried it and I actually really enjoyed it. I also had mango on a stick with salt and chili last year and love it. An all-inclusive ticket to flavourtown!
I adore guava. I eat them raw, just as they are. The white variety are so crispy and refreshing when slightly unripe like that! Love it! The small Mexican ones are much better when they are soft and yellow. Either way, spectacular fruit!
Hey Jared. I’ve been watching for quite some time and I’ve noticed you’ve never done a review (from what i’ve searched) for the mayhaw, Crataegus aestivalis, red berries known throughout the South for making jam. They ripen in may (may-haw) and have a short-lived ripening season. I would love to see that later this year!
Guavas are my favourite fruit. We eat them with salt and chilli. Smash fresh chilli with salt and use it as a dip. Delicious but they dont sell much of them here in Australia. The texture is abit more like a pear than an apple and the favour is unique to a quava.
Great ideas! The one time I had guavas I ate them fully ripe some plain some with sugar and some with salt. Next time I have some on hand I’ll be sure to review this video again.
Definitely recommend you make your Som Tum the more traditional way with a mortar and pestle. Generally, there is no onion or cilantro in Som Tum but you do you!
I have barely started the video and I have to say those are NOT the guavas I am used to from my grandmother's tree. Hers are all soft, with yellow skin the thickness of an apple skin, and light red (not pink) on the inside, with a bunch of rock hard seeds that you just swallow with the soft mushy inside. They also have a SUPER FLAVORFUL guava taste, like super powerful. When you pick hers off the tree you immediately smell a strong guava smell, and if you leave them on the counter the whole house smells like guava. I made the mistake of not taking out the ends of it I cut off into the compost immediately, and the entire house smelled super strong of guava all night and into the morning. I love guava so I didn't mind but my mom is not a fan so she wanted to barf. Basically the guavas I have had are the opposite of that guava. Mine are super flavorful and soft. Thank you so much! Your channel is literally my favorite channel on youtube. As a matter of fact I just started some ice cream bean seeds and they are germinating! Edit: lol I just looked at all the comments and it seems I am one of many who have said that is unripe Edit numero dos: Maybe you should try to get a ripe guava, they are really tasty compared to one like that which is rock hard
I'm going to go ahead and guess that this guy doesn't have a tree with perfectly soft un-shippable guavas in his northern yard in the dead of january XD
I put salt on a old apple that was old but hadn't gone bad yet but was a like days away so I put salt on that and it made It taste better. Also salt on what the store call apple pears are really good.
Being an American fruit, Guava (guayaba) is very common and it grows very well in arid conditions. I've NEVER seen anyone eat it unripe! The only caveat about picking it when it is properly ripe is to check it for larvae; I think there may be a wasp or beetle that uses it as a nursery. For people who have parrots, particularly macaws (guacamayo); the wood makes excellent perches because it's SO hard that even parrots are going to have a tough time gnawing away at it. Where I'm from it is usually made into a solid paste and eaten as dessert with a firm fresh white cheese such as queso de hoja.
I remember hearing of a study that looked at the over all nutritional value of several hundred fruits. Guava apparently came out on top, followed by watermelon in second place, they have a lot of calcium... Blueberries were somewhere around 35th place.
A friend of mine gave me a package of about a dozen tiny ones. Maybe the size of a silver dollar. I blended some up with coconut kefir. Made a nice creamy like dressing and was delish on my salad.
@@WeirdExplorer It was awesome! I love coconut kefir and mix all kinds of things with it to top fruits, veggie salads, dips, etc. Even spicy stuff. Not a lot in the line of vegan creamy stuff where I live so I go through a lot of coconut kefir lol.
Thank You for the explanation, i first time came in contact with those whan i was in Spain and wisited a hotel resturant, i had to ask the chef wat it actualy was, he said thet the local farmers did gow it on the cost farms sometime, i did the same misstake as You and just got my self a mouth full of those hard seeds and the taste was as You described more like a vegetable but not quite a vegetable... I hawe to try this next time i found them.
You might know this already, but in case you don't, if you roll the lime on the table pressing down with the palm of your hand, you can squeeze more juice out of it.
Looking at the pink guava, I'm reminded of all the pink and red fruits and foods of the past few months- the apple, the pineapple, the chocolate. What an odd trend lol. That salad looks really tasty, too. I'm going to have to try this salad some time!
To passion fruit, I like adding a tiny tiny sprinkle of salt, sugar and dried chilli flakes. Like really small amounts, like half a small pinch of each. It usually helps balance out the sourness some passion fruits have, and really amplifies the passion fruits flavour. More balanced flavours and makes the passion fruits own flavours a lot stronger.
Hey 😊 I had a weird memory of you, brought up by my daughter today. You may not remember me. And this is super random, bc obviously I havent kept track of you(or anyone since high school), but I'll never forget your name or your high school talent show performance of escaping a straight jacket. We were in the same sociology class(Mrs. Smith 🤯 (a legit crazy person)). You made me a paper rose before field tripping to Attica Prison. Good times eh? Yea kinda. Anyways, it made my night seeing how far you've come. I love exotic fruit too! Cherimoya is my favorite. Rare here in Lockport. Sending you good vibes man ✌
Woah hey Laura! Sure! I remember hanging with you on that field trip with nutty Mrs Smith. So nice to hear from you. I hope things are going well for you in WNY 😃
@@WeirdExplorer Things are as good as they can be, considering 😷 Hope all is well with you as well. Its neat to see everything you've done. Have a happy 2021! (sure hope its better than last year)
Have you ever tried cas, also known as the sour guava or by its scientific name psidium friedrichsthalianum? It's pretty big in Costa Rica and one of the most amazing fruits I have ever tried; really worth it if you can get your hands on one!
never heard the new world native guava called an asian guava before, lol. didnt even know they ate them out there! glad to know theyre appreciated out somewhere besides where im from, however bizarrely. i used to just pick them ripe from trees in my neighborhood and eat them on the way home from school
Okay okay, you win! 😂 I Changed the title to "unripe guava"

Great video about how to use an unripe guava! I never imagined it could be used in that state. Great content as always!
Either way, it was fun to watch. Good video.
Your videos are great! When you can travel to a country that grows guava try to track down a soft ripe one.
Most of the guavas they sell here in middle America are unripe. However, ripe ones are available FROZEN in our Mexican markets, and they are quite good when thawed (or theen). That was a stupid afterthought.

Definitely an unripe guava. The best smelling fruit I've ever smelled.

**cue cheesey thunder sounds effect**
Yep! A good ripe guava has a strong odor that some unaccustomed people find disagreeable.
Guavas are my favourite fruit. We eat them with salt and chilli. Smash fresh chilli with salt and use it as a dip. Delicious but they dont sell much of them here in Australia. The texture is abit more like a pear than an apple and the favour is unique to a quava.
As a Puerto Rican I approve this message. Guayabas are king here.
Great ideas! The one time I had guavas I ate them fully ripe some plain some with sugar and some with salt. Next time I have some on hand I’ll be sure to review this video again.
Definitely recommend you make your Som Tum the more traditional way with a mortar and pestle. Generally, there is no onion or cilantro in Som Tum but you do you!
the pickling music was a nice touch
I have barely started the video and I have to say those are NOT the guavas I am used to from my grandmother's tree. Hers are all soft, with yellow skin the thickness of an apple skin, and light red (not pink) on the inside, with a bunch of rock hard seeds that you just swallow with the soft mushy inside. They also have a SUPER FLAVORFUL guava taste, like super powerful. When you pick hers off the tree you immediately smell a strong guava smell, and if you leave them on the counter the whole house smells like guava. I made the mistake of not taking out the ends of it I cut off into the compost immediately, and the entire house smelled super strong of guava all night and into the morning. I love guava so I didn't mind but my mom is not a fan so she wanted to barf. Basically the guavas I have had are the opposite of that guava. Mine are super flavorful and soft. Thank you so much! Your channel is literally my favorite channel on youtube. As a matter of fact I just started some ice cream bean seeds and they are germinating!
Edit: lol I just looked at all the comments and it seems I am one of many who have said that is unripe
Edit numero dos: Maybe you should try to get a ripe guava, they are really tasty compared to one like that which is rock hard
I'm going to go ahead and guess that this guy doesn't have a tree with perfectly soft un-shippable guavas in his northern yard in the dead of january XD
I put salt on a old apple that was old but hadn't gone bad yet but was a like days away so I put salt on that and it made It taste better. Also salt on what the store call apple pears are really good.
In Arabia, we have it sweet and creamy.
Being an American fruit, Guava (guayaba) is very common and it grows very well in arid conditions. I've NEVER seen anyone eat it unripe! The only caveat about picking it when it is properly ripe is to check it for larvae; I think there may be a wasp or beetle that uses it as a nursery. For people who have parrots, particularly macaws (guacamayo); the wood makes excellent perches because it's SO hard that even parrots are going to have a tough time gnawing away at it. Where I'm from it is usually made into a solid paste and eaten as dessert with a firm fresh white cheese such as queso de hoja.
One bakery here in the Philppines has made a special pie out of it. It's like an apple pie but with apple guavas or more commonly called guapple.
If these are unripe, this could just be another "How to eat unripe..." episode, lol! That guava salad sounds next-level! 🥗💥
Guayabas! They’re pretty common in Puerto Rico. For me those were unripe. The ones that I’m used to eat are pink, and sweet. Worms love them...
I remember hearing of a study that looked at the over all nutritional value of several hundred fruits. Guava apparently came out on top, followed by watermelon in second place, they have a lot of calcium... Blueberries were somewhere around 35th place.
A friend of mine gave me a package of about a dozen tiny ones. Maybe the size of a silver dollar. I blended some up with coconut kefir. Made a nice creamy like dressing and was delish on my salad.
Sounds great!
@@WeirdExplorer It was awesome! I love coconut kefir and mix all kinds of things with it to top fruits, veggie salads, dips, etc. Even spicy stuff. Not a lot in the line of vegan creamy stuff where I live so I go through a lot of coconut kefir lol.
Just eat it raw, Taiwan guava tastes really great! They also mix lemon juice, licorice powder and sugar with guava dices (with cores removed).
Thank You for the explanation, i first time came in contact with those whan i was in Spain and wisited a hotel resturant, i had to ask the chef wat it actualy was, he said thet the local farmers did gow it on the cost farms sometime, i did the same misstake as You and just got my self a mouth full of those hard seeds and the taste was as You described more like a vegetable but not quite a vegetable... I hawe to try this next time i found them.
we have so much unripe guava recently, now i know what to do with them 👍
You might know this already, but in case you don't, if you roll the lime on the table pressing down with the palm of your hand, you can squeeze more juice out of it.
Your recent videos a very much improving in quality
Looking at the pink guava, I'm reminded of all the pink and red fruits and foods of the past few months- the apple, the pineapple, the chocolate. What an odd trend lol.
That salad looks really tasty, too. I'm going to have to try this salad some time!
I have 7 guava trees in my home and the all taste different but they Always taste best in summer season 😃
To passion fruit, I like adding a tiny tiny sprinkle of salt, sugar and dried chilli flakes. Like really small amounts, like half a small pinch of each.
It usually helps balance out the sourness some passion fruits have, and really amplifies the passion fruits flavour. More balanced flavours and makes the passion fruits own flavours a lot stronger.
Those haven't fully ripened yet!
YES. They are suppos3d to be sweet not... mild.
The juice is amazing...well, with a lot of sugar!
Hey 😊 I had a weird memory of you, brought up by my daughter today. You may not remember me. And this is super random, bc obviously I havent kept track of you(or anyone since high school), but I'll never forget your name or your high school talent show performance of escaping a straight jacket. We were in the same sociology class(Mrs. Smith 🤯 (a legit crazy person)). You made me a paper rose before field tripping to Attica Prison. Good times eh? Yea kinda. Anyways, it made my night seeing how far you've come. I love exotic fruit too! Cherimoya is my favorite. Rare here in Lockport. Sending you good vibes man ✌
Woah hey Laura! Sure! I remember hanging with you on that field trip with nutty Mrs Smith. So nice to hear from you. I hope things are going well for you in WNY 😃
@@WeirdExplorer Things are as good as they can be, considering 😷 Hope all is well with you as well. Its neat to see everything you've done. Have a happy 2021! (sure hope its better than last year)
i’ve never been able to find apple guavas. or pink ones
I can find smaller yellow ones that are good to eat raw
Guava is the first 'exotic' fruit I've gotten obsessed with
over ripe red guavas are very delicious eaten out of hand!
Have you ever tried cas, also known as the sour guava or by its scientific name psidium friedrichsthalianum? It's pretty big in Costa Rica and one of the most amazing fruits I have ever tried; really worth it if you can get your hands on one!
VERY GOOD IDEAS
could you compare this to the flavor of a cucumber, where it's bland enough to eat typically with a dip or sauce?
love the cat judgement!
always..
never heard the new world native guava called an asian guava before, lol. didnt even know they ate them out there! glad to know theyre appreciated out somewhere besides where im from, however bizarrely. i used to just pick them ripe from trees in my neighborhood and eat them on the way home from school
first
pls reply

In India guava is very common also.
