Get Groovy with Guava!

Guava is an exotic fruit grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions. An excellent source of vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants, it’s a no-brainer to include guava as an ingredient in your next product line! Guava’s flavor profile contributes acidity and tanginess, which compliments sweet foods, such as pastries, cupcakes, and icings, and also offers an enjoyably well-balanced flavor to savory products, such as marinades, dressings, and sauces. Guava imparts a pleasant aroma and stunning pink color to finished products, making them all the more appetizing for your consumers!

Guava is a versatile ingredient that can be used in numerous applications. Guava has long been a staple in Latin cuisine and is often incorporated into beverages and desserts. Guava is a great addition to jellies, jams, and marmalades, too. Its multi-faceted flavor profile blends well with other fruits including but not limited to mango, banana, and passionfruit. The options are endless for enticing applications with this unique ingredient!

Since it’s now the perfect time of year to enjoy a cool, refreshing beverage, the iTi Innovation Team has created a recipe for a sweet and pleasantly tart “Groovy Guava Lemonade” to showcase guava’s vivacious, spirited nature.
