Guava

Like tomatoes, red guavas contain high concentrations of the cancer-fighting antioxidant lycopene. (Related: Learn how lycopene can also help flatten your belly.) The tropical fruit is also a great source of potassium and vitamin C. Guavas and guava juice are popular in Central American and Caribbean cuisine, so you can find them in Latin grocery stores or at specialty supermarkets.

Try it: Sprinkle halved guavas with chopped walnuts, brown sugar, grated orange peel, and allspice, and bake or grill them for a warm dessert.
