This tropical delight can help chase away your winter blues, says Rania Batayneh, MPH, a nutritionist, eating strategist, and owner of
Essential Nutrition for You.
"Guava is a sweet, pink tropical fruit that is not only rich in taste, but also in vitamins A and C, potassium, and magnesium. Some varieties have extremely high levels of the antioxidant lycopene, which may prevent coronary artery disease."
Batayneh recommends using guava instead of tomatoes for homemade salsa that is perfect for parties.
