Is guava just a fruit or can you get it as a sweetner?

Answer 1

Guavas are cultivated in many tropical countries for their edible fruits. Several species are grown commercially; those listed below are the most important. The fruit is commonly eaten whole, but is often prepared in a variety of ways as a dessert. In Asia, raw guava is often dipped in salt or prune powder. Boiled guava is also extensively used to make candies, preserves, jellies, jams, marmalades (goiabada), and juices. In Asia, a tea is made from guava fruits and leaves. In Egypt, guava juice is popular.

Answer 2

Agave Nectar is an exciting new sweetener naturally extracted from the inner core of the Agave (a cactus-like plant native to Mexico).

I'm pretty sure you mean AGAVE????

Agave Nectar absorbs slowly into the bloodstream, decreasing the highs and lows associated with sugar intake. Agave nectar comes from a cactus, with a very low glycemic index, meaning it does not significantly raise blood sugar levels. It is unprocessed and therefore provides vitamins and minerals not found in processed sweeteners.
