Lime, orange, kiwi, kinkan, feijoa and other citrus fruits, especially rice are grown in Astara. Some grafted cultivars of feijoa are self-fertile. Feijoa fruit has a distinctive, potent smell that resembles that of a fine perfume. Numerous cultivars of feijoa have been developed. Acca lanuginosa is a species of shrub in the family Myrtaceae, related to feijoa. The feijoa pulp is used in some natural cosmetic products as an exfoliant. However, intercontinental shipping of feijoa by sea or air has been successful. Feijoa may be torn or bitten in half and the contents squeezed out and consumed.
