Fruits are sources of vitamins and minerals and this makes them the greatest source of nutrients for the body, as they provide us with everything the body needs to live.
However there are fruits that we have to combine with others to complement each other in the nutritional benefits they bring to human health, while others alone have everything we need to feed ourselves well.
Many of the fruits, because of their great amount of nutrients, make that we make our allies to us daily, since they contain all the necessary nutrients for the human organism.
Guavas are common tropical fruits cultivated and enjoyed in many tropical and subtropical regions.
Psidium guajava (common guava, lemon guava) is a small tree in the Myrtle family (Myrtaceae), native to Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. Although related species may also be called guavas, they actually belong to other species or genera, such as the "pineapple guava" Acca sellowiana.
The most frequently eaten species, and the one often simply referred to as "the guava", is the apple guava (Psidium guajava).[citation needed] Guavas are typical Myrtoideae, with tough dark leaves that are opposite, simple, elliptic to ovate and 5–15 centimetres (2.0–5.9 in) long. The flowers are white, with five petals and numerous stamens. The fruits are many-seeded berries.
The genera Accara and Acca (formerly Feijoa, pineapple guava) were formerly included in Psidium.
