Quince is a delicious, sweet-smelling fruit packed with fibre and antioxidants that aid digestion and fight inflammation. Not very popular, but nutritious and rich in vitamin C and copper, the fruit can improve immunity and collagen synthesis for good skin.

Quince has antioxidants that help prevent cell ageing and fibre that helps digestion and regulates blood sugar.

It is not usually eaten fresh, but it is good for cooking and stewing, adding a lovely sweet and fragrant flavour to food. Choose quince in jams, sauces or pastries to provide your body with extra micronutrients.
