Description:
Guava, is a genus of about 100 species of tropical shrubs and small trees in the myrtle family Myrtaceae. The binomial name of Guava is Psidium guajava. It is native to Mexico, as well as Central America, northern South America and parts of the Caribbean but now cultivated throughout the tropics. In Hindi as well as Urdu they are called amrood . In Sri Lanka they are called Pera. The Bengali name peyaraand the Tagalog name bayabas are probably local renditions of guayaba. In Spanish, the tree is guayabo, or guayavo, the fruit guayaba or guyava. The French call it goyave or goyavier; the Dutch, guyaba, goeajaaba; the Surinamese, guave or goejaba; and the Portuguese, goiaba or goaibeira. Hawaiians call it guava or kuawa. In Guam it is abas. In Malaya, it is generally known either as guava or jambu batu, but has also numerous dialectal names as it does in India, tropical Africa and the Philippines where the corruption, bayabas, is often applied. Various tribal names–pichi, posh, enandi, etc.–are employed among the Indians of Mexico and Central and South America. Numerous references in medical research identify guava as Psidium guajava.Since the 1950s, guava, particularly its leaves, has been a subject for diverse research in chemical identity of its constituents, pharmacological properties and history in folk medicine For example, from preliminary medical research in laboratory models, extracts from guava leaves or bark are implicated in therapeutic mechanisms against cancer, bacterial infections, inflammation and pain. Essential oils from guava leaves have shown strong anti-cancer activity in vitro.
Guava is cultivated in many tropical and subtropical countries for their edible fruit. Several species are grown commercially. The fruit is edible, round to pear-shaped, from 3-10 cm in diameter . It has a thin delicate rind, pale green to yellow at maturity in some species, pink to red in others, a creamy white or orange-salmon flesh with many small hard seeds.
