Looking for a tropical treat in the middle of winter? Try these delicious exotic fruits!

(From Self Magazine)

GUAVA

Buy it: Guava has a slightly spicy flavor, like cinnamon. Bonus: The yellow-to-bright-red beauty gives you as many antioxidants as broccoli does.

Try it: Peel and eat the guava fresh, or puree the pulp and add citrus juice, onion and spices for a sauce to pour over grilled chicken.
Healthy, hearty, meals that are low in fat and designed to protect your arteries (and waistline!) for life.

PAPAYA

Buy it: Cut through its thick skin to get the juicy insides: Papaya is a great source of skin-saving vitamin A and papain, an enzyme that aids digestion.

Try it: Use chopped ripe papaya to sweeten spicy tomato salsa. If it’s still green, shred and toss with sesame-soy dressing for an Asian slaw.
