Guava is the Winner!
Forget blueberries, broccoli, and pomegranates! Guava is the Red Carpet superfood. This exotic yet readily available fruit is high in antioxidants, so it’s good for your immune system and can help lower cholesterol and protect your heart.
For centuries guava leaves have been chewed to relieve toothaches and used as a decoction for gargling to relieve oral ulcers, inflamed gums, and sore throats. Guava’s distinctively aromatic fruit looks much like a small pear or apple, once ripe, every part is edible.
The rind alone contains over five times more gum-protecting vitamin C than an orange! Not only that, the fruit is exceptionally high in calcium for healthy teeth and bones.
