PINK GUAVA PULP/PUREE
Pink guava is a tropical fruit which is known for its unique taste, aroma and pink colored pulp. Guavas are categorized based on the color of their flesh. The pink guava pulp is sweeter than White Guava Pulp/Puree and has a stronger aroma. The Pink colored flesh is due to the presence of a pigment called carotenoid. This is the same pigment that gives distinct color to the carrots and tomatoes. Though the pink guava has its origin in South America, it is also abundant in many areas of Asia and South Africa. In India, the pink guava is predominantly cultivated in Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra.
