A South American shrub (Acca sellowiana) bearing edible green fruits with a tangy, tropical flavor.
From Portuguese, named after João da Silva Feijó, an 18th-century Portuguese botanist. The fruit is also called 'pineapple guava' due to its flavor profile.
The feijoa is named after a botanist, but hardly anyone knows it—imagine having a tropical fruit named after you and being totally forgotten by history!
