🍈 5 Common Mistakes When Eating Guava—and How to Avoid Them for Maximum Benefits

Yes, guava is healthy—but too much of its high fiber content can cause bloating, gas, or stomach discomfort, especially if your digestive system isn’t used to it.

✅ What to Do Instead:
Enjoy guava in moderation—1 to 2 medium fruits per day is perfect for reaping its benefits without upsetting your stomach.

4. ❌ Storing Guava Incorrectly

Leaving guava on the counter too long after it ripens—or putting an unripe guava in the fridge—can lead to spoilage or a loss in flavor.

✅ What to Do Instead:
Let unripe guavas ripen at room temperature, then move them to the fridge. Ripe guava stays fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days.

5. ❌ Ignoring the Seeds
