Feijoa – pronounced fay-oh-uh – are a farmers’ market fay-vor-ite! This fruit is nicknamed “pineapple guava” for its intense tropical flavor, but it also gives hints of mint and pine that we welcome in the winter. Look for ones that squish slightly when you squeeze them, and enjoy them as you would a kiwi – slice it in half and scoop out its sweet, tangy, and creamy interior with a spoon.
Fun fact – feijoa trees are beautiful evergreens planted all over the Bay Area as ornamentals. Chances are you have one in your neighborhood but, if not, skip over to one of our markets. Full Belly Farm and Stepladder Creamery have them!
Easy Eating: 'Tis the season for a Spiced Feijoa Shortcake, or make a homemade Feijoa Jam to take advantage of this fruit’s short season.
