Nature has given many such fruits and flowers, which are not only delicious in taste, but are also very beneficial for health. The name of one such fruit is Sebia Guava, which is very beneficial for health. The Tourism Department of Uttar Pradesh describes the famous Sebia Guava (Red Guava) of Prayagraj as the king of both health and taste. This guava is grown in the fertile soil and favorable climate of the city, due to which it has natural sweetness, mild aroma and unique taste.

This fruit, which received GI tag in the year 2007, is very popular in the winter season and is sold for Rs 100-150 per kg. Its demand remains in India and abroad. The specialty of Sebia guava is its outer light yellow-green bark and inner dark red or pink pulp. The pulp looks and smells like apple, hence it got the name ‘Sebia’ or ‘Surkha’.

Being sweet and juicy, it has a distinct identity from other guavas. The soil of Prayagraj provides special nutrients to it, which makes it a seasonal treasure. This guava is not only delicious, but is also extremely beneficial for health. It contains Vitamin C in abundance, which is many times more than orange.
