Guava is an evergreen shrub or small tree with smooth, peeling bark, firm leaves and round fruits with pink or white flesh. It is native to tropical America and has long been grown throughout India, including Kerala.
Known in later Sanskrit texts as Peruka, the guava leaf is traditionally used in Indian homes as a mouth rinse and in preparations for digestive comfort. The fruit is a rich, popular source of vitamin C.
