Yellow-fruited varieties are known in [[Hawaii]] as ''waiawī''. It is closely related to [[Psidium guajava|common guava]], and like that species is a widespread, highly invasive species in tropical areas, especially Hawaii. It tends to form dense, monotypic stands which prevent regrowth of native species, and is very difficult to eradicate.<br /> <br /> ==Culinary uses==<br /> The strawberry guava can be eaten by cutting the fruit in half and scooping out the pulp and seeds. It tastes like a [[passionfruit]] mixed with [[strawberry]]. The seeds are small and white in colour and can be roasted as a substitute for coffee. Its leaves may be brewed for tea. The skin is also edible and tastes a bit like rose petals but is best removed for a sweeter flavour.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Myrtaceae-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Myrtaceae]]</div>
