Finally able to enjoy handfuls of these delicious treats! The cattley guava has made its way to my top 10 fruits for sure. Free from the mustiness of traditional guavas with a strawberry like sweet/tart flavor 🤤 so glad that my neighbors are a huge fan as well, we’ll see about getting these started as living hedges for everyone. ・・・ #growninhaiti #cattleyguava #Psidiumcattleianum #foodforest #abundance #edible #sweettreats #haiti #ayiti #reforestation #foodsecurity #diversity #propagation https://www.instagram.com/p/CS7JHYxlzwG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Seems like we’re about to experience an abundance of cattley guava! Rich in vitamin C and potassium, these delicious treats are definitely something to look forward to. This fruit is native to eastern Brazil and Uraguay where it grows in tropical and warm subtropical climates and can be found throughout tropical and Subtropical America but uncommon in places like Africa and Asia. I’ve only tasted one so far and it was so interesting. I kind of need to taste more to really get to know this fruit but I’ve read that they can also be used to make dessert fillings, jellies and jams. Even the seeds, like other guavas, can be roasted and used as a coffee substitute. ・・・ #growninhaiti #psidiumcattleyanumlittorale #cattleyguava #strawberryguava #haiti #ayiti #reforestation #agroforestry #diversity #abundance #growth #flowering #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides #fruits #tropicalfruits https://www.instagram.com/p/CO0fJEUluR2/?igshid=11qgwx11ohr23

I honestly thought this was going to be the red variety but either way, these cattley guavas are freakin amazing!!!! Harvested our very first fruit yesterday. So different from a guava. Not sure why it even has that name. I think this may be one of my new favorite fruits. They taste like a cousin produced from a passion fruit and strawberries marriage if that makes any sense 😬. Thanks @beachybryan for sharing this with me during our first plant swap! ・・・ #growninhaiti #cattleyguava #Psidiumcattleyanum #firstfruit #delicious #exotic #tropical #foodforest #sharingiscaring #plantswap #agroforestry #foodsecurity #diversity #abundance #haiti #ayiti #organic #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides (at Cap Rouge, Sud-Est, Haiti) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLMRHi9lr11/?igshid=khlmp942hnaj

Native to eastern Brazil and Uraguay, the Carley or strawberry guava grows in tropical and warm subtropical climates. Fruits are eaten fresh or made into fillings for pies and tarts. Ripe fruits are also used to make jellies and jams. Slices of the flesh are sometimes added to fruit punches. The roasted seeds have been used as a substitute for coffee and the leaves are sometimes used to make tea. Related to the common guava, it’s named in honor of the English horticulturist Sir William Cattley (1788-1835), an avid collector of tropical plants. ・・・ #growninhaiti #cattleyguava #strawberryguava #PsidiumCattleyanumSabine #reforestation #preservation #variety #agroforestry #diversity #haiti #ayiti #foodforest #livingseedbank #organic #growth #newleaves #foodsecurity #coffeesubstitute https://www.instagram.com/p/B7I4mw8llNQ/?igshid=sawkzlrxz8yn
