Tag: Guava jam

Guava, the tropical fruit at the heart of guava jam, is naturally gluten-free, providing a delicious tropical option for many diets. However, the safety of the final jam product is not guaranteed, as processing, additives, and manufacturing practices can introduce gluten into the recipe.

While fresh guava is famously rich in vitamin C and fiber, the processing required to make guava jam fundamentally alters its nutritional profile, concentrating sugar and often significantly reducing vitamin C content.
