Ripe guava cut and sprinkled with rock salt, eaten as fruit
A ripe guava cut and sprinkled with rock salt is a fruit snack, not a glass of juice. It is supportive and not a substitute for a doctor.
Guava as fruit, with a pinch of salt
A ripe guava, pink or white inside, needs only a wash, a cut, and a pinch of rock salt. Eating the fruit keeps the fibre that a strained juice throws away.
One guava is a supportive snack. It is not a substitute for a doctor, and it is not a jug of juice.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe guava
- A pinch of rock salt
- A plate and a knife
How to prepare
- Wash the guava and cut it into wedges. Leave the small seeds if they are soft.
- Sprinkle a pinch of rock salt over the pieces.
How to use
- Eat it as fruit in the afternoon or after a meal.
- Chew it. Do not blend it into juice.
- One guava is enough for a snack.
Helpful habits
- Choose a fruit that gives slightly when pressed. A very hard guava is not ripe.
- Chaat masala is optional and easy to overdo. Rock salt alone matches this snack.
Precautions
- Eat it as fruit, not juice. A large glass is a different, heavier drink.
- If the seeds bother you, scoop out the hard middle and eat the soft part.
- This is supportive only and not a substitute for a doctor.
Frequently asked questions
Should I drink guava juice instead?
- No. This snack is cut fruit with rock salt. Juice removes the chew and is easy to take in a large glass.
How much rock salt?
- A pinch over one guava. It should not taste like a salt lick.
Is a sour raw guava the same?
- Use a ripe guava. A very raw sour fruit can feel harsh. This is supportive food, not a substitute for a doctor.
