Etymology

The word 'guava' is derived from the Spanish 'guayaba,' which itself comes from the Taino word 'guayaba', a term used by the indigenous people of the Caribbean. Guavas are native to the tropical Americas and have been cultivated for centuries. The fruit was first brought to Europe by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. Over time, guavas were introduced to Asia and other parts of the world, where they adapted well to tropical climates. Their popularity has grown, especially in tropical and subtropical regions, making guava a versatile fruit used in various culinary dishes, beverages, and even traditional medicines.
