Guavas that ripen in the winter are always tastier than those
found during the rest of the year. In India, Allahabadi guavas are
famous for their taste.
There are so many guava trees in India that it is hard to believe
that they came from Brazil in South America. Sailors travelling
from those parts, brought the seeds of guavas with them.
Parrots and monkeys love guavas. It is believed that a guava
pecked by a parrot will be sweet!
Guavas are very good for us as they are full of vitamin A and C.
The tree has other uses too. The leaves are mashed and used to
relieve toothache. The bark is used to make a dye for colouring
silk.
