- The green round or oval juicy fruit of a shrub or small tree (Feijoa sellowiana) of the myrtle family that is native to South America and is grown commercially especially in New Zealand
- Feijoa Season is late March to early June
- The Feijoa has a perfumed scent that can be described as sweet, soft and feminine yet medicine like with bubblegum tones and a hint of strawberry and pineapple.
- Feijoas have a light to dark green skin.
- In the centre of the fruit there is a very sweet jelly centre with seeds so small and soft you can hardly notice them.
- Surrounding the jelly is another texture again which consists of a pear flesh like which is also quite soft yet somewhat gritty.


“Many liken them to guavas or quince, but their complex flavour also brings to mind strawberries and pineapple, with a pear-like gritty texture, and a hint of mint.”
