Zulia is one of the states with the highest production at the national level.

_{The fruit of the guava tree is an ovoid berry that measures approximately 4 to 12 centimeters long and 4 to 7 centimeters wide. It weighs between 30 and 225 grams. It is an aromatic fruit, with a sweet-sour taste, soft and sticky pulp. The color of the pulp is variable. It can be white, yellowish white, pink, yellow, orange or salmon. The taste of the fully ripe fruit is sweet to slightly acidic and somewhat aromatic, varying from strong and penetrating to moderate and pleasant. In the center of the guava is a mass of pulpy material where the seeds are deposited. According to this source the seeds are abundant, stony, triangular, reniform, compressed, white, light yellow or yellowish brown, approximately 3 to 5 mm long. The guava can be consumed both fresh and processed in the form of pulps, juices, jams and preserves. I particularly prepare guava jam at home. I like guava juice very thick. When I taste the fresh guava I prefer the one with the pink pulp.} https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSXtWi52uVBdcodmpVjB9uPtF3zxtVsm6CcXf5oqP8AVj/L%C3%8DNEA%20GUAYABA.png _{Guava is high in vitamins, carotenoids and polyphenols} _{https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSXtWi52uVBdcodmpVjB9uPtF3zxtVsm6CcXf5oqP8AVj/L%C3%8DNEA%20GUAYABA.png} _{http://i.picasion.com/gl/90/cEAF.gif}
