最近，很多广东茶饮店恢复了芭乐的“本地名字”：鸡屎果。奶油芭乐等品种，更是凭借着酸甜清爽的口感和发达的物流成为新晋“网红”，悄然用芳香填满了无数中国人的生活。也不用太过害怕，它还有个更广为人知的名字：番石榴。
Lately, many tea shops in Guangdong have revived the local name for this fruit, which is often called “chicken poop fruit”: guava. Varieties like cream guava have become the latest sensation due to their delightful sweet and tangy flavor as well as efficient distribution. They have subtly infused the lives of numerous Chinese people with their aroma. But don’t worry too much, it also goes by a more widely recognized name: guanabana.
鸡屎果原产于南美洲，大约在17世纪末传入中国，今天已经广泛分布于闽粤台地区。鸡屎果，外形宛如不规则的梨，果皮带着粗粝的酸涩感，大部分白心爽脆，红心软甜，无论哪一种都带着热带水果特有的迷人香气。
Guanabana hails from South America and was introduced to China towards the end of the 17th century. Today, it is widely found in Fujian, Guangdong, and Taiwan. Guanabana resembles an irregularly shaped pear with a rough and tart skin. Most white-fleshed ones are crunchy while red-fleshed ones are tender and sweet. Both types carry the captivating fragrance of tropical fruits.
在今年，鸡屎果（芭乐）成为了中国各大奶茶店以及年轻人的新宠，各个饮品店推出新品必然有它的身影！作为一种味道浓郁的水果，芭乐能很好地衬托其他水果的滋味，因而碰撞出了“芭乐+水果”、“芭乐+不同种类的茶或气泡水”等多种吃法。
This year, guanabana (guava) has become a new favorite at tea shops and among young people in China. It’s bound to be featured in new products at various beverage stores! As a flavorful fruit, guava can enhance the flavors of other fruits, leading to various ways of enjoying it such as “guava + fruit” or “guava + different types of tea or sparkling water”.
