A study conducted by the National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad has found guava to be the healthiest fruit. This study, published in the journal ‘Food and Research International’, evaluated the natural antioxidant level in 14 fruits consumed in India. And guava, as per this study, contains it in the highest amounts.
The modest guava
Depending on the variety, a guava’s skin and seeds are typically, white or pink. While some people like it semi-ripe, when it’s crunchy yet soft, a few others prefer the fully ripe ones.
It is rich in antioxidants and fiber; in addition to containing high levels of pectin, making it a super-food in our current-day busy lives.

While vitamin-B3 –- known as niacin -– promotes blood flow, stimulating brain function, vitamin-B6 – known as pyridoxine – is an important nutrient for brain and nerve function.
