What is Feijoa?
The feijoa, or pineapple guava, is a tropical plant native to Brazil. It prefers subtropical zones and will suffer from frost damage. Feijoa is frequently used to make hedges and screens, because it is attractive and relatively fast growing. The fruit is considered subacid, with a pineapple-like flavor that has sweeter notes of strawberry and guava. Feijoa is not commonly found in American grocery stores, although larger grocers with a large selection of exotic fruits may have feijoa in season, which varies depending on the location.
