Fruit full of benefits
Reasons to consume guavas:
At first, we can point out that guava is an excellent addition to the diet, because it contains an absurdly low amount of sugar and fat. However, the little sugar and fat that this fruit contains is compensated by the abundance of mineral salts, such as iron, potassium and even calcium. In addition, guava is rich in vitamins of complex A, B and C.
Vitamin C has the ability to strengthen the immune system, Vitamin A can improve eyesight, and Vitamin B helps maintain gut health.
Red guava vs white guava
It's not just the coloring that differentiates the two varieties of this fruit, but also other factors that might surprise you.
The amount of nutrients present in the different varieties of the fruit is something to be observed, since the white guava often contains twice as many nutrients as the red one.
That's right, despite most people's preference for the reddish variety, its popularity does not reflect the potential of its benefits.
Of course, this does not mean at all that red guava is not an extremely beneficial fruit for us.
Both are great options for those looking for a healthy diet, in addition to the flexibility with which they can be consumed, in ice cream, various sweets, juices, etc.
