Guava in the Canary Islands: a classic of the northern farms
Guava is one of those fruits that in the Canary Islands smells like grandma's house. At Viva la Finca there are seasonal guavas.
A smell you recognise
When guavas ripen, the smell arrives before the fruit. Inside they can be white or pink, with lots of seeds.
How it is used
It is eaten fresh, in juice or as a sweet preserve. Guava preserve (dulce de guayaba) is common in the Canary Islands.
On the farm
It lives alongside the other fruit trees. Everything the farm gives goes to the family table.
