Product Name:Dacheng No.3 Guava (Ayutthaya 3 Guava)
Description:
Dacheng No.3 is a premium red-skinned, red-fleshed, low-seed guava variety from Thailand's commercial "Dacheng" (Ayutthaya) series. Bred by crossing 'Ruby' (female parent) with 'Watermelon Guava' (male parent), this variety was selected from nearly 100 seedlings and represents one of Thailand's most promising red-fleshed guava cultivars.
A Red Guava That Stands Out:
The defining feature of Dacheng No.3 is its striking red skin and red flesh, a rarity among commercial guava varieties. The fruit is round to oval with a glossy, vibrant red exterior that commands attention on the shelf. The flesh is fluffy and fine-textured, offering a unique mouthfeel compared to the denser white-fleshed varieties.
Flavor & Sweetness:
Dacheng No.3 delivers an exceptionally sweet flavor during the winter season, with sugar content reaching over 16°Brix – placing it among the sweetest guava varieties available. The flavor is described as "similar to Ruby", with a rich, aromatic profile. The fruit is low-seeded, making it exceptionally convenient for fresh consumption.
