How to choose guava and how to store it

1. Choose guava by feel

When choosing guava, you can choose according to the feel. Guava with good quality and high maturity will feel hard and crisp, and will not feel light in your hand. This means that the guava is fresh and can be purchased.

2. Choose guava based on its appearance

You can choose guava based on its appearance. The uglier the guava is on the outside, the better it tastes. In addition, the appearance of a mature guava is yellow with a hint of white. Guavas that are too dark in color are about to go bad and should not be purchased. If you buy a guava with a green appearance, you should not eat it immediately after returning home. You should leave it for a few days before eating it.

3. How to store guava

Guava should not be stored in an environment with high temperature. When storing it at home, you can put the guava in a fresh-keeping bag and store it in the refrigerator. It can keep it from deteriorating for about ten days. You can also wrap the guava with paper and put it in a sealed container. After sealing it, put it in a cool and ventilated environment. The guava can also be stored for many days without deteriorating.
