What are Quinces

About Quince

Quince is a fragrant, pear-shaped fruit with golden-yellow skin and firm flesh. It is often grown in temperate regions.

Quinces are a good source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants. They are known for their potential digestive benefits. Quinces are safe to eat when cooked ( please be mindful of your results as these may indicate you should not consume them due to a sensitivity). However, they are very hard and astringent when raw, making them unpalatable to many people.

Quinces are commonly used in cooking and baking. They are transformed into jams, jellies, and preserves, or cooked into pies and tarts.
