Once ripe, refrigerate and consume within 3–5 days. Cut guava should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and used within 2 days. Do not over-refrigerate as it dulls the flavour.Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: How do I know when Indian guava is ripe?A: Ripe guava yields slightly to gentle pressure, has a strong floral fragrance, and the skin turns from bright green to a softer, slightly yellow-green.
