Health Benefits of Quince
The quince is a round, yellow fruit, very similar to a pear. It is one of the few edible fruits that is not eaten raw, as it has a very hard, rough pulp with a bitter taste.
This fruit has several advantages, as it is rich in vitamins A, C, B complex and E, malic acid, pectins, minerals such as potassium, iron and copper.
It is thanks to the quince that we have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Marmelada, a very Portuguese delicacy made with love by Quinta de Jugais.
In addition to the Traditional Marmalade , take the opportunity to try our Marmalade with Walnuts or the original and delicious Reineta Marmalade . Also check out our latest addition: Organic Marmalade .
