The power of plants

The quince is a small tree originating from the Caucasus which can now be found all around the Mediterranean basin. In Antiquity, its golden, velvety-skinned fruit – the quince – was offered to newlyweds as a token of love and fertility. The hard, bitter flesh when cooked becomes sweet and delicious and is eaten in the form of jellies or jellied fruits. Quince leaves are used by the people of the steppe to treat coughs and cardiovascular and skin diseases.
