Guava also known as Peru/Jamfal/Amarud in India, it has lots of name. It is very easily available in whole year. In particular, I love guava fruit as it relates to my childhood memories. Actually, there was huge tree of guava in my grandparents’ house backyard. It was a huge tree and on season, and always fully loaded with guava fruit. At that time, I used to eat this fruit fresh direct from the tree, just cut it and sprinkle some salt and chilli powder over it, and that’s it, eating strait a way from nature… yummy…still I love to eat this fruit that way.
