I live, I laugh, I love, I eat. I try to live an altruistic lifestyle as much as possible, promoting and supporting sustainability, organic farming, and environmental and animal rights ethics. I have a passion for food which was passed down from and inspired by my french grandma, mémé, who has taught me more through food and cooking than any attempt at dialog ever could. Enjoy these fool-proof recipes that will make you fall in love with cooking, and others fall in love with you! Don't know how to make something? Ask me and I will post a fool-proof recipe on said kitchen dilemma!
Cooking for you, for me.
Get Vegucated! On Guava (Guayaba)… except Guava is a fruit, not vegetable. But get Fruiticated doesn’t quite have the same ring, now does it?
Guava is native to: Mexico, Central and South America, and is now cultivated in many tropics and subtropics, including Florida! (along with a ton of other places). They are pretty small, varying from 4-13 cm longs. The skin, pulp and seeds are edible, and the pulp ranges in an off-white color, normally being a sourer fruit, or a deep red color, which tends to be sweeter, depending on the species of guava.
Guava is one of my favorite flavors and fruits. I love guayaba pasteles, guava ice cream, basically anything guava. Surprisingly I’ve never actually had a guava though, until yesterday that is. On Saturday I went to the farmers market, this is something I do every weekend, to buy local, support organic farming practices, and purchase produce for the rest of the week. And while I was looking around I stumbled upon….yes, you guessed it, guava! So I bought four. And they are delicious. Not as sweet as I thought, but I’m pretty positive that’s because it was a yellow guava, which almost mimics the way a granadilla (passion fruit) tastes. Get your adventure taste buds excited and find some guava!
