This is the juice of guava. Alongside Curuba (with coverage in another article), guava is one of the cheapest fruits in Colombia. Yes, oranges are not actually the cheapest here despite the abundance of them! Unlike the guavas in Asia, the ones here are pink, not green.. Guava used to be so cheap that it used to be the stable fruit in every family’s home (still is I guess). There were not many other options for fruits. Strawberries and chicken were luxuries at the time. The Colombians who were brought up before the economy opened and were fed guava everyday are called the Guayaba generation.
