Seedless Guava

Guava with seeds

Have you ever had guava? The usual one will have a core of thousand little seeds. Such a mess, hate it! especially when it has more seeds than the flesh.


But not Dad's Seedless Guava :) it's literally SEEDLESS.
I love it when it's not fully ripe, just when it still have the "apple" crunch; it'll taste so sweet with abit of sour hint.

Of course you can consume it when it's fully ripe. It'll have softer texture and tastes just sweet, without tartness - not my fave, but some people prefer it this way



Here are some pics of the fruit stages:

1. The flower to be, still very tiny.
2. All swollen up, ready to bloom in 1-2 days.
3. The beautiful white flower. Only bloom for 1 day, need helps from some bees to fertilise it. Bees love it :)
4. Sign of successful fertilisation: the flower will lose all the petals and it'll grow some hip.
5. Still growing :)
6. At this stage, the fruit is huge enough to start releasing enough scent to attract fruit flies; start wrapping the fruit to avoid the attack.
7. Dad wrapped the fruit with plastic bag (inside lined with papers). Plastic is actually not a good wrapping media cos it'll trap moisture - paper is a better choice; if you still wanna use plastic, poke some holes for sufficient draining.
8. Here what's they look like when dad harvested it. Plump!
9. See!!! I told you, it's totally seedless :)
