What does GUAVA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A tropical fruit with a thin green or yellow skin and pink or white sweet flesh full of small seeds, or the small tree that produces it.
Guava trees grow throughout the tropics and produce a fruit prized for its strong perfume and a flavor that sits somewhere between strawberry and pear. The rind can be eaten along with the flesh, while the many small seeds inside are usually swallowed rather than picked out. Because the fruit ripens quickly and bruises easily, guava is often turned into juice, jam, or paste rather than shipped fresh over long distances. The tree itself is hardy and spreads readily, so in some regions guava has become a common backyard plant rather than a specialty crop.

An everyday noun for the fruit or the tree; often paired with words like paste, juice, or nectar in food contexts.
