Also known as the pineapple guava, these fruits are native to South America. Their pale yellow flesh is very sweet. The taste is a cross between a pineapple and a banana. The tiny seeds embedded in a jelly-like center are edible. The thick, waxy skin is too tart to eat fresh but can be used in pickles or preserves. [www.QinSen.com]
