| | Cooking Light - In Season: Quince |
 | | A little trivia: This 4,000 year old member of the apple family, which is mentioned in the Bible and may even be the "forbidden fruit" that Eve fed to Adam, is common throughout Asia and the Mediterranean, but a stranger to most Americans. |
 | | The quince is now ready to be sliced, chopped, or diced, and made into jams, jellies, preserves, desserts, and savory dishes, or used to complement poultry, meat, or fish. |
 | | Nutritional info: One medium quince weighs in at 52 calories, providing 1.7 grams of fiber, 0.4 gram of protein, 0.1 gram of fat (none of it saturated), 4.0 milligrams of sodium, and no cholesterol. |
