One of the joys of the "gloom season" is the abundance of these little fruits. Commonly called Strawberry Guava, they are native to South America and grow wild on Flores.
These little fruits are high in Calcium, Iron, Vitamin A, B, and C...even surpassing citrus!
They also contain high amounts of phytonutrients, including carotenoids and polyphenols that can protect cells from damage, lower risk of cardiovascular disease and provide other health benefits.
We have been brewing up excellent wine using a Saccharomyces bayanus strain of yeast that produces an effervescent pink brew that is fruity and dry at the same time. Vey nice to drink day or night, especially when you cannot tell the difference for all the black clouds hovering overhead!
With all the nutritional benefits of this wine you never catch the flu or have a hang over either.
