Guava Puree

Guava puree is made from the fruit of the guava tree, a tropical plant native to Mexico and Central America. The fruit is typically processed by removing seeds and skin, then pureed to create a smooth consistency. It is widely used in food products for its distinct tropical flavour and aroma.

Guava puree is primarily used to impart a natural fruit flavour and aroma to food and drink products. It can also contribute to the texture and colour of items like smoothies, juices, desserts, and jams. Manufacturers use it as a flavouring agent and sometimes as a natural source of fruit content.

Guava puree is not a food additive and does not have an E-number. It is a natural fruit product. Guavas are a source of vitamin C and dietary fibre. The UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) do not set specific limits for fruit purees as they are considered a food ingredient. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming guava puree in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet.
