Psidium striatulum, known as Guajava Mirim or narrow-leaved guava. Its medium-sized fruits with yellow skin and bright pink flesh are a real delicacy among guavas.
A taste that caresses you

The leaves are traditionally used as a tea to treat diarrhoea, for example in India or China. In Mexico, the fruit is used to heal wounds due to its antibacterial and healing properties.
