The feijoa, also known as pineapple guava or guavasteen, is a small, green fruit native to South America. It has a sweet, aromatic flavor that combines hints of pineapple, apple, and mint. The fruit is typically oval-shaped and can be eaten raw or used in various recipes, including jams and desserts. Feijoas are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C, and dietary fiber, making them a healthy addition to the diet. They thrive in subtropical and mild temperate climates and are often grown in home gardens. The feijoa tree also produces beautiful flowers, which attract pollinators like bees.
