History of the quince
The quince has been cultivated in central europe probably since the ninth century. Apple and pear quinces are distinguished by their appearance. They contain a lot of vitamin C, minerals, trace elements, pectin, mucilage and tannins. Therefore, they can be useful for minor inflammations of the mouth and throat, as well as for intestinal disorders.
Already with hildegard von bingen the quince was an important and widespread remedy. Due to their high pectin content, quinces have a long shelf life and were thus an important source of vitamins for people in winter. Subes quince bread used to be the little man’s confectionery.
Since the quinces do not bloom until may, they are not exposed to the danger of late frosts, unlike apples and pears. The fruit is covered with a light fluff and at first seems hard and inaccessible, although it smells in the most diverse nuances of pineapple, orange, pear and mango. There is even a quince nature trail near astheim, where the different forms of the quince can be compared.
