Quince is a hard, fragrant fruit closely related to apples and pears, almost always cooked before eating due to its astringent flesh and tough texture when raw.

Per 100 g, raw quince provides 57 kcal, 0.4 g of protein, 0.1 g of fat, 15.3 g of carbohydrates and 1.9 g of dietary fibre, with 6.3 g of sugars.
