Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Guavas are Good for Your Health-Now Available in Costco


On the eve of Christmas,  Ditas and Carenna treated David and I with rib-eyes steak dinner she purchased from Costco. Besides the rib eye steaks, she brought with her eight Mexican Guavas. It has been a while since I have tasted Guavas. Thank you Ditas and Carenna.

The last time I have the common guavas was about 10 years ago from the fruits of the Guava Trees in my orchard gardens at Chateau Du Mer, Amoingon, Boac, Marinduque.  

For those of you who are not familiar with this fruit, here's a brief description of the fruit and its health benefits from Wikipedia.

Guava is a common tropical fruit cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions. The common guava Psidium guajava (lemon guava, apple guava) is a small tree in the myrtle family (Myrtaceae), native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America. Related plants may also be called guavas; they belong to other species (in Psidium) or genera (in Myrteae), such as the pineapple guava, Feijoa sellowiana. In 2019, 55 million tonnes of guavas were produced worldwide, led by India with 45% of the total. Botanically, guavas are berries.

 

There are several varieties popular in tropical and subtropical countries regions in the World. One of the varieties I like are pink inside the fruit. The variety I have here in Fair Oaks, is the Pineapple Guava( relative of the common guava), Feijoa Sellowiana.
