1. Introduction to Guava Pear
Table of Contents
Guava Pear (Ổi Lê), also known as the Lê Guava, is one of the most popular and commercially successful guava varieties in Vietnam. It gets its name from its pear-like shape and its remarkably crispy texture, which resembles the crunch of a fresh pear.
At Vinahugo, we source our Guava Pear from the specialized fruit-growing regions of the Mekong Delta and Dong Nai. This variety is highly favored for export because of its small core, few seeds, and high resistance to transport damage. It is a perfect balance of refreshing sweetness and a mild, pleasant aroma.
