Guava, chickoo and papaya offer a variety of health benefits.

These include improved heart health, better digestion, enhanced immune function and potential cancer prevention.

They are also rich in essential vitamins, antioxidants and dietary fibre.

But they also have carbohydrates which can raise blood sugar levels.

Chickoo and papaya have a moderate glycaemic index.
