Answer:
Even though she misses the flavor, she wouldn't eat them again. It establishes a parallelism meaning that she wouldn't come back.
Explanation:
How to Eat a Guava is a text by Esmeralda Santiago, a writer who was born in Puerto Rico and also spent most her childhood there, before moving to New York.
In the text, the speaker describes the guava in detail, remarking its good and bad points and what the texture and flavor made her feel. She also remembers other things, such as when she used to eat guavas and how she and her mates used to eat them even thought the guavas were not ready. As the text advances, she also remarks the bad parts of guavas and at the end she decides to keep moving forward and not take one from the stand, meaning that she doesn't want to eat them anymore. Due to her origins and the origins of the guava itself, the speaker expresses that wouldn't repeat the activity; in this case, the guava could be understood as a representation of her experiences in Puerto Rico, so, if she decided not to eat the guava, it means that even though she has good memories of the country where she had been born, she didn't want to come back.
