Guava Pulp

Store unopened cans or pouches at room temperature. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. Freezing is a great option for longer storage.

Use it as a base for smoothies, juices, and cocktails for a tropical twist.

Incorporate into baked goods like cakes, muffins, or tarts for added moisture and flavor.

Simmer with sugar to make a delicious guava paste or jam.

Blend into sauces or marinades for a sweet and tangy element in savory dishes, especially with pork or chicken.

Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom

Fruits: lime, lemon, pineapple, coconut, berries

Dairy/Sweeteners: cream cheese, condensed milk, honey, sugar

Savory: pork, chicken, chili peppers, cilantro

Over-sweetening: Guava pulp is already sweet, so taste before adding extra sugar.

Ignoring the seeds: While the pulp is usually strained, some recipes might call for cooked and blended whole fruit, which can result in a grittier texture if not strained properly.
