Quince, (Cydonia oblonga), a small  tree or shrub of the rose family (Rosaceae), grown for its edible fruit. Quince is the only member of the genus Cydonia and is native to Iran, KashmirTurkey, and possibly Greece and the Crimean Peninsula. The fruit has a strong aroma and is astringent in the raw state but makes an excellent preserve and is often used to give flavour and sharpness to stewed or baked apples. The flesh takes on a pink colour when cooked, giving an attractive colour to jellies and conserves.

The fruit contains tannins including catechin and epicatechin and has a very high concentration of vitamin C. Quince is also a good source of calciumironpotassiummagnesium and copper. With a very low calorie density, quince can be enjoyed as part of a healthy eating plan.
