Quinces, flesh only

Quinces are a type of fruit, and the figures here describe the flesh only. They mainly provide water and carbohydrate, with small amounts of protein and fat. Per 100g, quince flesh contains 6.3g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, along with 15mg of vitamin C and 200mg of potassium. Its energy content is 110 kJ.

Vitamin C supports normal skin and connective tissue formation and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Quince flesh contains little salt or fat. If sugar is added during preparation, this increases the sugar and energy content beyond the values given for the flesh alone. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
