Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Quince

  • Metabolic Effect: Thanks to its fiber content, it regulates digestion and provides a feeling of satiety. It balances blood sugar and prevents sudden spikes.
  • Consumption Suggestion: Instead of consuming quince alone, it is more beneficial to consume it by cooking it with spices such as cinnamon or cloves. This both enhances its flavor and strengthens its antioxidant properties.
  • Things to Consider: Quince may cause constipation in some people due to its high tannin content. Therefore, it is important to drink plenty of water and consume it in a balanced way. One medium-sized quince meets a significant portion of the daily fiber requirement.
  • Exercise Equivalent: It is enough to walk at a light pace for about 15 minutes to burn the calories from 100 grams of quince. This is an easy activity, especially for those with a sedentary lifestyle.
