Dwarf guavas--best ways to eat?
A year or so ago, I planted a dwarf guava tree because, well, I
like guavas, I saw this tree at a nursery, and I don't have room for a full-size fruit tree. :-) Last year it put out a dozen or so small fruits. I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to eat the rinds or not and couldn't find any dwarf guava sites that had that information, so although it was a challenge and I lost a fair bit of pulp in the process, I did peel them. I just tried again and was able to find out that it's fine to eat the rinds of ripe guavas. So I guess I can eat these dwarf ones whole, but are there any uses for which I'd be better off peeling them? E.g., can a blender make the rinds smooth in drinks, or if I want guava juice, would I be advised to use only the pulp? Anyone who's had experience with dwarf fruits, please suggest any other ideas you might have for using my guavas (either with or without the rinds!). Thanks! Patty |

Thanks to Dkra and Karl for the suggestions. Dunno whether I have a
spoon tiny enough to scoop them out. :-) Straining the juice sounds like an excellent idea. Glad to know that I don't have to peel the little buggers. :-) Patty |

I grew up in a place in West Los Angeles (Mandeville Canyon) that used to be a
botanical garden, so it had all sorts of unusual plants---including pineapple and strawberry guavas. As I remember, the easiest way to get all the tasty stuff out was to bite off the "flower" end, then suck out the pulp. zemedelec |
