Favorite Fruit that I Have Never Tried

My favorite that I have never tried is the guava. It is a round fruit that comes in two
forms. The first one and the one that I find sweetest is the fresh guava fruit. The other one is
dried guava.

Appearance It is roughly spherical. Its exterior or skin is
typically light green or yellow. The inside or flesh
of the fruit is usually a vibrant shade of pink,
white or deep red. Thus, the interior of the fruit is
significantly different from its exterior.
