I grew up in Africa where you could pick guavas right off a tree while you were on vacation. Well that is where I first tasted guavas. My dad boiled them in a sugar syrup and we served them with custard. The Koo guavas have been a favorite since I moved back to the States. I keep buying this brand and love the flavor. While these are not as delicious as fresh quavas they are a close second.
