Strawberry guava is a small fruit with a sweet and tart taste, often compared to a combination of strawberry and pear. There are several synonyms for this fruit, including cattley guava, yellow guava, red guava, and cherry guava. The name cattley guava comes from the fact that it was named after William Cattley, an English botanist who first recorded it in the 1800s. Yellow, red, and cherry guavas are named after the color of their flesh or skin. They all share similar characteristics to the strawberry guava, but may vary slightly in flavor and appearance. Regardless of their name, all guavas are highly nutritious and a great addition to any diet.
