Harvesting abundant guava fruits right from our very own guava fruit trees in our zen permaculture-based garden is such a blessing for our family.

The aromatic fruit smell of ripe guava is so tempting for a bite every time you pick the fruit from the tree (though I eat a handful of it right after I pick from the tree hahah).

A basin harvest of ripe guava fruit every week is a satisfying abundant supply for our body with anti-oxidant and vitamin C.

And you have so much easy prep you can make out of it that provides ample taste, texture, and flavor for the snack .

So yummy … perfect!
