Guava (Farang)

Product Details

PRODUCT INFO
Thai guavas are typically the size of a softball with a bright apple green skin that can range from bumpy to completely smooth. The flesh is bright white with pale yellow seeds and has a dryer texture than other varieties of guava. Thai guavas are typically eaten unripe and crunchy, contributing to their mildly sweet flavor and faint aroma.

USES
Farangs are known as Farang in Thai, which is the same word used to denote a foreigner. The name refers to this species of guava being introduced into the Thai region via European traders in the 17th century. Thai guava is typically consumed unripe and served with a dry salt and granulated sugar dip seasoned with crushed chili or in a green mango and green papaya salad.

SEASONS
Thai guavas are available in the spring and fall months.
