Guava

I consider the Guava fruit to be a powerhouse of nutrients. It is low in calorie and rich in dietary fiber, protein, potassium, vitamins A & C (it is know to contain over four times the amount of vitamin C than an orange) and lots more.

There are several species of Guavas. Usually they are green in color, but as they ripen they turn yellow.

The Guava has many health benefits including; helps with coughs and colds, helps to reduce blood pressure, the juice of the leaves cures tooth aches and swollen gums, helps with diarrhea and the list goes on.
