Following the topic of yesterday's publication, as I told you the guava is a tropical fruit which has not defined its origin but is located in Mesoamerica where it was spread by the Spanish and Portuguese to the tropics of the world, guava cultivars have not been identified genetically but there is diversity in shape, size and colors of plant organs.
▶ The guava fruit contains five times more vitamin C than citrus fruits, depending on the variety, where 16 vitamins have been recorded. It contains the essential amino acids tryptophan, lysine and methionine, missing about 60% of the vitamin content.

≕ I invite you to stay tuned and read my next contribution ≔
The population of Psidium guajava plants in South America occupies a high percentage with respect to European countries, which is important to implement new techniques where one of them could be to build germplasm banks to study plants that are resistant to pathogens and healthy fruit producers.
Even though it has an almost unique origin, it is possible that due to the mode of propagation by seed, together with the floral biology of this species, it has generated a certain variability that should be studied and characterized.
The purpose of knowing the degree of variation present in guava plants to various biological characters of the same, the different varieties of guava cultivated in the tropics and in this case in Colombia have some weaknesses which makes them a little susceptible to the environment in which they are located.
It is therefore very important to emphasize that it is essential to establish a collection of different varieties of guava cultivars or in some cases a germplasm bank which is nothing more than a collection of wild and cultivated material in order to develop plants that are adapted to the region to which it will be cultivated.

wow I never knew guava has more vitamins than citruses, thanks for this education publication, hope to see more of it
Indeed guava is one of the fruits with the highest percentage of vitamins, thanks @joebolite97 for reading my post.
