Guava (baby)

All the internets and side-of-package says that baby guavas are more fragrant and flavorful than the regular-sized ones, so I should probably have had a guava: original sauce before sampling these morsels.


They look kind of battered and they are PUNGENT but they are sooooer tasty.


Did I mention seedy?  Full of tiny, hard seeds.  And not tiny like strawberryseed-tiny, but tiny like grapeseed-tiny.  So, palpable.  But impossible to bite through, so you sort of just swallow them with the sweet, perfumey flesh.

Tastiness:  They taste like a pear-slash-berry.  Pearberry!  Eight.

Ease of extraction:  Wash and eat!  But not the tops, nor the bottoms neither.  And I believe I mentioned the seeds.  So six.

Overall nommability:  Forty-eight.  A deceptively low score, because I would very much eat them again.
