---------- Guava -------------------- Guava is an obscure tropical fruit thats subtly acidic, with sweetness that intensifies as you eat your way to the center. Why its Healthy: Guava has a higher concentration of lycopene—an antioxidant that fights prostate cancer—than any other plant food, including tomatoes and watermelon. In addition, 1 cup of the stuff provides 688 milligrams (mg) of potassium, which is 63 percent more than youll find in a medium banana. And guava may be the ultimate high-fiber food: Theres almost 9 grams (g) of fiber in every cup. How to Eat It: Down the entire fruit, from the rind to the seeds. Its all edible—and nutritious. The rind alone has more vitamin C than youd find in the flesh of an orange. You can score guava in the produce section of higher-end supermarkets or in Latin grocery stores.
