Food 28 -- Guavas

'Tis the season for guavas now (there are actually a couple of times a year when the guava trees are really fruiting) and I love them! Carlos and I gathered a few from a big tree, took them home, and made guava juice to drink with dinner the other night.

All of the animals around here love them -- even some of the frugivorous fish (called machacas). If you throw a guava off the bridge, they swarm around it and sometimes even jump out of the water to get it! It is quite the sight to see -- hey, they don't call them fruit piranhas for nothing!
