Guava fruit ( wikipedia )
Guava fruit, usually 4 to 12 cm long, are round or oval depending on the species. The outer skin may be rough, often with a bitter taste, or soft and sweet. Varying between species, the skin can be any thickness, is usually green before maturity, but becomes yellow, maroon, or green when ripe.
Guava fruit generally have a pronounced and typical fragrance, similar to lemon rind but less sharp. Guava pulp may be sweet or sour, off-white ("white" guavas) to deep pink ("red" guavas), with the seeds in the central pulp of variable number and hardness, depending on species.
Guava or Indonesian call it "jambu batu" is very popular in south east Asia or elsewhere in tropical countries.
Guava and beet is two different things to me,Guava fruit is something that I can find easily in the area where I used to lived,
Beet is new to me, I never see or have Beet until recently, when I see guava shell in the can at Asian and Mexican market,I was like wow Interesting :)
then,later that day I'm thinking about guava cheesecake :)
I only bought one can of guava shell just for a try,so when I'm ready to make a cheesecake I don't think I had enough to flavor a cheesecake,so I look around in the pantry I found a can of sliced beets,,,perfect !! just an experiment why not :)
I'm very satisfied with the result,it was perfect together and I will make it again for "leftover Thanksgiving dinner" with friends,is worth it to try,,,this is my third cheesecake recipe fruits ingredients.
