Nutritional values

Quinces contain a lot of pectin, a kind of "cleaning crew" for the digestive tract. It swells up in the stomach so that the feeling of hunger quickly subsides, transports pollutants from the intestines and stimulates digestion. It also has a cholesterol-lowering effect.

Quinces are not offered everywhere. If you don't get any, you can also prepare the quince tart with apples or pears (these only take 5 minutes to cook). Both also contain plenty of pectin, but not quite as much as quinces. If you are a fan of quinces, then take a look at our cookbook about the autumn fruit. From sweet to hearty recipes you will find what your heart desires.
