Did you know that feijoa is also known as the "pineapple guava"? This unique fruit originates from South America and boasts a delicious combination of tropical flavours, reminiscent of pineapple, guava, and citrus.
Feijoa is not only a tasty treat but also a nutritional powerhouse. It's an excellent source of vitamin C, which supports immune function, collagen production, and helps protect against oxidative stress.
