It tastes sweet, but it does not act like it. Guava is loaded with pectin. Pectin is a type of soluble fiber. When it hits your digestive tract, it immediately turns into a thick gel. That gel forms a physical barrier in your system, slowing down how fast food moves through your stomach and intestines. Because the processing slows down, glucose trickles into your bloodstream instead of flooding it. That means no sudden sugar spike after eating. It sits surprisingly low on the glycemic index for a tropical fruit.
