What is this food?
Guava (white guava), a sweet-tasting fruit. For every 100g, it has about 70 kcal, 5g fiber, and 8.2g sugar.
Why it matters to health
Guava is a good choice for everyday meals and snacks because it provides dietary fiber (helps you feel full and supports healthy digestion) and carbohydrates that give you energy. It also has low fat and very low sodium, which makes it easy to fit into a balanced Filipino eating pattern. Since it has some natural sugar, pairing it with meals or combining it with protein/fat (like nuts or yogurt) can help keep your snack more satisfying.
Healthier tips
- For snacks: aim for a portion like 1 small bowl (about 100–150g) of guava, especially between meals.
- Pair it: combine guava with plain yogurt or a small handful of nuts to make it more filling.
- Choose whole fruit: eat it as fruit (not just juice) to keep the fiber benefit.
- If you’re watching sugar: enjoy guava, but keep it as part of your daily snack rotation, not as the only snack.
Common Filipino dishes
Guava with bagoong, sinigang na guava (guava-based), guava juice (diluted), guava salad with tomatoes and onions, guava jam on whole wheat bread
