Exploring Quince Secrets: Origins, Benefits, and Varieties

Quince is the fruit of the quince tree (Cydonia oblonga), a tree belonging to the Rosaceae family, related to apple and pear trees. Originating from the Caucasus region in the warm southwest of Asia (Iran, Armenia, Turkey), this fruit, with its oval or round shape, stands out with its golden yellow mature skin covered in a fine layer of fuzz. Its pulp, white or yellowish, is very hard and acidic, housing numerous seeds. Explore the benefits and various varieties of quince.

Nutritional Benefits of Quince

Quince is an incredibly healthy fruit, offering benefits such as:

  • Rich in Fiber: Containing pectin and mucilages, it provides astringent, softening, and anti-inflammatory properties. It aids in regulating intestinal transit, preventing diarrhea, soothing gastric mucosa irritations, and liver detoxification.

  • Low in Calories and Sugars: With only 29 kcal and 6.3 g of sugars per 100 g, it is suitable for weight control diets and individuals with diabetes.

  • Source of Vitamins: With 15 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, it strengthens the immune system and provides antioxidant properties. Additionally, it contains provitamin A (beta-carotene).

  • Essential Minerals: It includes potassium (regulator of blood pressure), calcium (strengthens bones and teeth), and magnesium (essential for muscle and nerve function).

  • Malic Acid: Found in quince, this organic compound imparts an acidic flavor and has disinfectant properties, facilitating uric acid elimination.

Variety Size Shape Color Flavor Ripening
Portugal Large Oval Intense Yellow Sweet October-November
