Density 81 · +0 vs Fruits & juices medianQuince scores 81 of 100, also a Strong result, ranking 30th of 60 in Fruits & juices, with a good showing of vitamin C at 17% DV per 100 g.
Raw quince is fibrous and tart enough that it is rarely eaten out of hand, so most kitchens poach, bake, or stew it down into paste or compote before serving. A single fruit without refuse (92 g) works well halved and roasted with a little spice, though its firm, astringent raw texture is why it is known as a cooking fruit rather than a snacking one.
