What we have learned:
  It is amazing that there are so many guava products! Even though we grew up in Shetou, we had never heard some of the products before. The magical thing is that even though the fruit is made into different products, its benefits still remain. Some of the products are even more valuable than the fruit. That is why we would like to introduce Guava and its benefits to the world.
