Guava nectar or juice is a sweet, aromatic beverage made from the fruit of the guava tree, typically blended with water and sugar to create a smooth, drinkable consistency. Originating from Central America and Mexico, it's now enjoyed worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions.
This juice is generally high in carbohydrates from natural fruit sugars and added sweeteners, with minimal fat and protein. It's an excellent source of vitamin C and provides dietary fiber if the nectar includes pulp.
