Quince is the fruit of the quince, a tree native to Asia that also grows in other parts of<\/strong> the world, including Italy. Our ancestors loved them, but today the quince is almost forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The quince has a yellow peel and a very pleasant aroma and is mainly used for the preparation of jams, including the famous quince jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite their taste, quinces contain few calories and are rich in vitamins A, C and the B group as well as minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, iron, calcium and sodium. It also contains fiber, pectins and tannins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quinces are rich in pectins and are therefore particularly useful for people suffering from hypercholesterolemia. Potassium helps regulate blood pressure and prevent hypertension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This excellent fruit also has an astringent effect due to the tannins, which is why it is helpful for diarrhea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The malic acid in quince has a detoxifying effect and helps eliminate uric acid. The fruit also has expectorant properties that relieve coughs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Quinces are also diuretic and can improve bowel function. They contain a lot of potassium, making them ideal for preventing cramps and regulating the nervous system, relieving anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quince seeds contain mucilage, which helps keep skin moist and prevent wrinkles<\/strong> .
