While visiting Bangladesh as a child, one of my favourite parts of the trip was the availability of fresh fruit right off the trees in the garden. My grandparents house have mango, coconut, star fruit and many other trees, as well as my favourite guava, which grow alongside the small lake.

 

Guava is a tropical fruit which can be found in many areas including Asia, Central and South America. The taste is quite difficult to describe but perhaps a little similar to a pear, with a hard skin, soft fleshy inside and lots of seeds. It also has high levels of Vitamin C, around 4 times as much as an orange. In the UK, produce from all over the world are available to us and can now be found in our local grocery shops.
