The power of plants
The quince is a small tree native to the Caucasus, and can now be found all around the Mediterranean Basin. In ancient times, its golden, velvety-skinned fruit—the quince—was offered to newlyweds as a token of love and fertility. When cooked, the hard, bitter flesh 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. In cosmetics, organic quince extract helps to tighten the structure of the skin to restore its elasticity and tone.
