NOTE: There are many types of guava. I have learned that there are 26+ types of guava in the world, and it would make the list too long if I were to maintain and rate the fruits I have eaten. It is going to be fitting if I put only 2, but no more than 3 types of guava on the list you will see below if I do try more than one. For this one, you will tell I don't like it, but do read on on my standard analysis of the fruit.

To figure, I would find this at a local chain discount store called Grocery Outlet ( https://www.groceryoutlet.com ) in my area, and to figure too that the company is like the international chain that I have heard, Aldi ( https://www.aldi.com [select your country location here.]), it could be that the way it was grown, it does not taste too good. I do not know, but if Matt does say that it is good:



..I may have bought it from a company that is not growing it well. When I did buy, yes, all of the guavas were a bit green, and it did taste quite tart, but after a few days of ribening, some were brown, and yellow. OY! The taste did improve a little, but still is not too tasty.

😵‍💫

For one thing, having to eat the area where it is brown and fiber-y, that did not bode well with my taste buds! As it is that the whole guava is edible, yes, the seeds are hard in this cultvar, and it can be a bit of a little nuisance to have the seeds be in your mouth after swallowing most of the fruit.

It is true, like papaya, it is good for you when it comes to getting rid of the parasites like tapeworms and other worms that reside in the guts, but though it's nutritious, this cultivar was not delicious- it was like I had some light sugar with a distant citrus flavor in a paste. (If you are thinking it is like cherimoya, NO! The taste is NOTHING like that.)

😠

Of course, there have been commercial guavas being offered, and they would not be red, but I feel that I should find the best ones on the market to give a definite rating on guavas overall. It is clear that this is the WHITE guava, but I should try the ones that are COLORED-LIKELY THE RED ONES.

As I have said, there are at least 26 other guavas in the world. If you want to know what types there are, you can go to the website below for more details:

BUT here's the rating for the Mexican white guava I tasted:

14: Cherimoya
13: Dragonfruit
12: Papaya
11: Passion fruit
10: Rambutan
9: Mangosteen
8: Durian
7: Korean melon
6: Lychee
5: Goldenberry (close to "MEH", but OK)
4: Kiwano melon (bit good)

>>3: GUAVA (Mexican white)<<

(BLAND)
2: Pepino melon (Bland)
1: QUINCE (RAW, BUT NEVER TASTED) (BAD!)

It is temporary, but if I find something better with this cultivar, then I could change it. In the meantime, UGH! If for the second time it tastes as bland as the one I tasted recently, that rating stays.

If it's Alfred tasting this version of guava, he'd be coughing a bit on this type of guava, and he'd want to have ones more in his homeland!

Hopefully I will find a better Mexican white guava, but I will long for ones that have a colored pulp. Hope luck strikes twice for Mexican white-I'm not giving up, but hope for the ones that are red, orange or yellow...
