Substitutes for Guava in gelato

Guava is a tropical fruit purée prized in gelato and sorbetto for its intense, musky-floral aroma and pink-to-cream color. As a sugar-and-water-rich fruit with modest fiber and protein, it contributes flavor, natural sweetness, and a notable anti-freezing (PAC) boost driven by its fructose-dominant sugar blend.
