Guava

Goyave

What it is

It spread across the tropics faster than almost any other fruit because birds and pigs carry the seed and the tree grows anywhere — in parts of the Pacific it is now classed as an invasive weed rather than a crop.

In the kitchen

The perfume tells you far more than the colour. A ripe guava scents a whole room, and that is the moment to use it.
