Notes
Can I Eat Guava Seeds?
While every part of the guava is edible, the seeds can be tough to chew. They are high in fiber, so they can be great to blend up into a smoothie - but only if you are using a Vitamix or high-speed blender. If you have a high speed blender, you can leave the seeds on the fruit if desired. If you don't have a high speed blender, I would recommend scooping the seeds or the smoothie can become gritty if they are not blended properly.Nutrition
