Quince is a fragrant, golden-yellow fruit native to regions of Asia and the Mediterranean. Resembling a pear in shape, it is often too tart to eat raw but becomes sweet and tender when cooked. Rich in fiber, quince supports healthy digestion and may aid in lowering cholesterol levels. It is a good source of vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system and promotes skin health, and contains antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress. Low in calories and fat, quince is an excellent choice for weight-conscious diets. Historically used in Middle Eastern and European cuisines, it is popular in jams, jellies, and stews, adding a unique, floral flavor. While its natural sweetness is enhanced through cooking, recipes often rely on added sugars, so it’s best to enjoy quince-based dishes in moderation if watching sugar intake.
