Rarity is our editors’ score for how hard something is to find in the US and how unusual it is to make: availability (supermarket, specialty shop or maker only), production (small-batch, seasonal, foraged) and how unusual the ingredient or method is.
Expect ripe, perfumed guava sweetness first, then a slow chilli warmth, with chewy fruit bits along the way.
It turns the Indian street-snack habit of chilli on guava into a lollipop with real guava pieces. The listing says it is handmade by women's self-help groups in rural areas.
