Guava Lasts Longer Than You Think! Here’s How
Let your guava ripen on the counter until it’s soft and fragrant. Don’t rush it—unripe guava just doesn’t taste the same.
Once ripe, pop the guava into a clean, dry paper or plastic bag. Label it with the date, then stash it in your fridge’s crisper drawer. Keep the bag slightly open for airflow, and try to keep guava away from apples or oranges—they’ll make it spoil faster.
Eat refrigerated guava within 3-4 days. If it feels super soft or mushy, it’s probably past its prime.
Want to keep guava even longer? Wash, peel, and cut it up. Place the pieces in an airtight container, pour in cooled simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar), and freeze. Leave some space at the top for expansion.
Frozen guava is best within a year. Thaw in the fridge for a few hours and use it in smoothies, desserts, or even sauces. Super easy and no waste!
