What it is

Quince pulp comes from the quince fruit, a hard, yellow fruit related to apples and pears. The fruit is typically cooked down to create a soft pulp, often with added sugar, which can then be used in various food products.

Why it's used

Quince pulp is primarily used as a flavoring and thickening agent in jams, jellies, and fruit spreads. It adds a distinct floral and tart flavor, and its pectin content helps create a gel-like consistency in these products.

Health notes

Quince pulp is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of dietary fiber and vitamin C. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated quince and its components, but no specific health concerns are associated with its typical consumption in foods.

Allergen info

Quince pulp is not derived from any of the FDA's 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
