Guava Oil - (Psidium guajava)

Guava - goiaba in Brazil - must be one of my favorite fruits, I can smell a red guava street vendor for at least three blocks away! When I found out Brazil makes a high quality Guava oil - even though it is not from the Amazonia - I knew I had to carry it. The scent isn't what I expected but the results feel almost as good as that first bite on a perfect red guava.

When we consume Amazonia's sustainable, non-timber-products, we give the local people an alternative to logging and farming which are the two largest responsible factors of the deforestation of such an important ecosystem.
