Rose Apple – Syzygium
The Rose Apple, Syzygium samarangense is native to S.E.Asia. Common names for Syzygium include Wax Apple, Rose Apple, Malabar Plum, Malay Apple and Chomphu. In spite of the name, Rose Apple is not an apple, with neither the tree, nor the fruit nor the taste resembling an apple. The Rose Apple is a member of the Myrtaceae (Myrtle) family and there are several varieties with fruit ranging from white to pale green through to red and deep purple. As a rule of thumb when purchasing Rose Apples, the darker the colour the sweeter the fruit will be.
Guavas – Superfruit – Psidium
The guava fruit is round or elongated and the skin can be rough or smooth depending on the variety. The skin of a guava is light green to green, becoming yellow, green or purplish as the fruits ripen. The flesh is usually white, creamy and dense although there are some varieties with pink and reddish flesh. The unripe fruit is crisp but becomes softer as they ripen. Some varieties have many seeds, some just a few and others have no seeds at all.
