About Feijoa, raw

Feijoa, sometimes sold as pineapple guava, is a small egg-shaped green fruit with a fragrance all its own — intensely aromatic, with a sweet-tart, slightly gritty flesh that suggests pineapple, guava and mint together. It is hugely popular in New Zealand, where backyard trees drop fruit by the bucketload each autumn.

It is a light fruit at about 55 calories per 100 grams, offering vitamin C, fiber and a little folate. The usual way to eat it is to slice it in half and scoop the soft, jelly-like center out with a spoon, leaving behind the more bitter skin.

Beyond eating fresh, feijoa's perfumed flavor carries beautifully into smoothies, crumbles, chutneys and jams, and it freezes well as a pulp to extend the short season.
