Feijoa muffins with ginger and coconut<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whip up a batch of these feijoa muffins friends, you won't be disappointed - they are soft, fruity, springy and outright delicious (not to mention totally healthy!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my non-New Zealand readers, feijoas, from the fruit of the feijoa tree<\/a> (feijoa sellowiana), are highly fragrant oval fruits that taste like a cross between a guava, pineapple and pear (in fact, they’re more commonly known abroad as pineapple guava). The flesh of the feijoas are somewhat gritty but with a softy jelly centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fruit lends itself to baking nicely, which is a relief as once feijoa season kicks in, we literally have feijoas out the wazoo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the many feijoa health benefits include a wide array of phenolic compounds – such as catechin, epicatechin, gallic acid and ellagic acid – all of which are also found in green tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These have wonderful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic and prebiotic effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, a healthy, delicious, refreshing and versatile fruit that us folk here in NZ just adore.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n
