What fruit is this...........(iced guava)

So attractive color pink.....
Shape like an apple......
Taste completely like guava......

Recently i visited a mall where you get all international food items.
And i was attracted by this fruit.which was packed in a transperent cover and tagged as iced guava ,i asked a selling staff  about this fruit ,she explained name,and said  is imported from thailand.
I asked for price ....she checked and said 660 rs/kg.
I was surprised and thought of tasting a new fruit entered indian market.i took one fruit and bought it for 370 rs.


After arriving home excitedly opened and pulled out the fruit and cut open the plastic cover ......thats really shocking ...!,
The fruit was peeled clean,there was no skin to fruit.when i cut open the fruit to my disbelief ,the outer skin only was pink,i could notice it was some color or dye.according to my knowledge the fruit was peeled and immersed in a color for some time.and as there is no skin the fruit easily soak color.

And when i took a first byte.....
Its our guava...my dear friends.i was shocked.....
The taste has been enhanced by making it more sweeter than usual.may be along with color they mixed some sugar syrup as well.
The taste was artificial.i could feel the bitter  taste of color after finished eating.
And i dont know what all chemical and preservative  they added to make it so attractive.


I was fooled .....may be by the attractive packing,marketing person or i did not think of fraud in this way ,may be because the mall is reputed and well known.

The guava was peeled nicely giving it a shape of apple and giving a nice color .
The job to fool customer is highly appreciable,where a customer is buying 60 rs/kg
Fruit for 660 rs/kg.

Now a days any thing can happen with any one.we should be really  aware.
