Guava

If you are a fan of guava and want to enjoy it throughout the year, you might want to consider freezing it.  Freezing guava is an easy and efficient way to preserve its delicious flavour and nutritional value.

To freeze guava, you will need to follow a few simple steps.  First, wash the fruit and remove the stem and any blossoms. Then, peel the fruit, halve it, and scoop out the seeds.  You can also slice the fruit or puree it (optionally with a light syrup).

Next, you will need to package the guava for freezing.  You can pack the halves and slices either dry, with sugar, or in a light syrup in rigid containers. If you choose to puree the guava, pack it in small quantities in freezer bags.  Make sure to label and date your containers to keep track of the storage time.

When it comes to thawing the frozen guava, you can use it directly from the freezer. The fruit will be slightly softer than fresh guava, but it will retain its flavor and texture.

Frozen guava can be stored for up to 12 months, which means you can enjoy the taste of this delicious fruit all year round.  Whether you prefer to eat it as a snack, use it in smoothies or desserts, or add it to your favourite recipes, freezing guava is a great way to make sure it's always on hand when you need it.

Emma Alexander-Cook

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
