About Marmelo

Marmelo, commonly known as quince, is a fragrant fruit with origins in the Mediterranean and Southwest Asia. Resembling a cross between a pear and an apple, marmelo is typically consumed cooked due to its tart and astringent raw flavor. Rich in dietary fiber, vitamins C and B-complex, and essential minerals like potassium and copper, it supports digestion, immunity, and overall cellular health. Marmelo is often used in jams, jellies, and desserts for its natural pectin content, which aids in preserving. Low in fat and calories, it’s considered a healthy addition to a balanced diet. However, some traditional preparations, like marmelada (quince paste), can be high in sugar, so moderation is key. Popular in Portuguese, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines, marmelo’s unique flavor profile makes it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes.
