Consumption advice
One whole guava with its skin makes a wonderful snack; its dense fibre fills the stomach for hours and gives great fullness and aromatic sweetness without raising blood sugar at all.
Best preparation methods
Wash the fruit and eat it whole, skin and flesh; the skin holds the highest share of vitamin C, and eat the tiny seeds without grinding them to benefit from their fibre.
Important Nutritional Note
Guava contains four times the vitamin C of an orange plus unique soluble fibre that supports stable glucose; it is one of the best and safest fruits in the world for people with diabetes.
