Feijoa (Guavasteen)
from £5.00
Feijoa or guavasteen taste like a combination of guava and pineapple with sour undertone- Yet a tart and sweet aromatic flavour. The thin waxy green peel is enclosing a soft and cream coloured flesh with small jelly-like seeds inside, hardly noticeable. The fruit weights about 50g.
The Feijoa fruit is made up of a considerable amount of fibre; One cup of Feijoa contains 16 grams of dietary fibre (The daily recommended amount for an adult by the Heart foundation is 25-30g) easing digestion, preventing conditions like constipation and protecting the body from more serious conditions like colorectal cancer. Fibre can also scrape cholesterol out of the arteries and blood vessels.
Feijoa is available from late summer through into autumn.
