Feijoa sellowiana[2][3] also known as Acca sellowiana (O.Berg) Burret,[4] is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. It is native mainly to the highlands of Colombia, southern Brazil and the hills of northeast Uruguay, but it can also be found in eastern Paraguay and northern Argentina.[5][6]: 114  It is known as quirina (lusified from kanê kriyne[a] by the indigenous Kaingang of southern Brazil)[6]: 111  or more commercially as feijoa.[b][10]

 

The Colombian feijoa (Acca sellowiana), a fruit-bearing shrub of the Myrtaceae family. In Colombia, the fruit is particularly associated with the Quindío and Boyacá regions, where it thrives in the Andean highlands. It has been cultivated for centuries by the inhabitants of Tibasosa, Boyacá, considered descendants of the Chibchas,Muiscas, and known for their longevity. The town of Tibasosa is renowned as the "Feijoa Capital of Colombia", hosting the annual Feijoa Festival (Festival de la Feijoa) to celebrate the fruit’s cultural and economic significance. The Tibasosa feijoa variant is prized for its high pulp content and aromatic properties, making it popular for consumption in juices, desserts, jams, and even artisanal liquors. Due to its nutritional value, rich antioxidants content and potential medicinal properties, Colombian feijoa has garnered increasing attention for both local culinary use and international agricultural research.

 

They are also common in gardens of New Zealand.[11] It is widely cultivated as an ornamental tree and for its fruit.[10] It is an evergreen shrub or small tree, 1–7 metres (3.3–23.0 ft) in height.[12] The oblong leaves are about two inches (five cm) long, dark green on the upper side and white underneath. The flowers have five whitish petals which are puffy, possibly filled with some gas. There are about 25 dark red stamens projecting from the center.[13]

 

Etymology

Feijoa sellowiana Berg is from the genus which the German botanist, Ernst Berger, named after João da Silva Feijó, a Portuguese naturalist, and the specific name honors Friedrich Sellow, a German who first collected specimens of Feijoa in southern Brazil.[10]

 

Other common English names in various countries include pineapple guava, fig guava and guavasteen, although it is not a true guava.[10]

 

Fruit

The fruit matures in autumn and the skin is green. Its shape is roughly that of a prolate spheroid, and it is about the size of a chicken egg. It is sweet, slightly tart, with an aromatic bouquet reminiscent of tropical fruits such as passion fruit, cherry guava, or pineapple. The flesh is juicy and is divided into a clear, gelatinous seed pulp and a firmer, slightly granular, opaque flesh nearer the skin.[10] The fruit falls to the ground when ripe and at its fullest flavour, but it may be picked from the tree prior to falling to prevent bruising.

 

The fruit pulp resembles the closely related guava, having a gritty texture. The feijoa pulp is used in some natural cosmetic products as an exfoliant. Feijoa fruit has a distinctive, potent smell that resembles that of a fine perfume. The aroma is due to methyl benzoate and related compounds in the fruit.[14]
