                                Quince fruit, or Cydonia oblonga, has been cultivated for thousands of years, with some historians suggesting it was the 'golden apple' of Greek mythology. But unlike a modern apple, you cannot easily bite into a raw Cydonia oblonga, as it requires specific preparation to unlock its fragrant, sweet flavor.
