Unlike pure pineapple juice, this nectar incorporates the distinct aroma and flavor of guava, offering a more complex and exotic taste profile. The addition of guava also contributes a slightly different texture and a richer mouthfeel compared to single-fruit juices. It is a nectar, meaning it contains added water and sweetener, which distinguishes it from 100% juice products.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused portion of the nectar. It should be consumed within a few days to maintain its freshness and flavor. Keep the container sealed tightly when not in use to prevent spoilage and absorption of odors from the refrigerator.
