Heze Quince

Heze quince is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　The Heze quince tree is a deciduous shrub of the Rosaceae family, growing to about ten feet tall. It blooms and bears fruit annually. The fruit is oval-shaped, with a smooth, waxy skin covered in a powdery bloom, golden in color, and richly fragrant—its aroma lingers indoors for a long time. The quince contains malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, vitamin C, and more. When processed, it can be made into quince cakes and quince liqueur. Regular consumption is beneficial to physical and mental health. When steamed or roasted, the fruit becomes soft. Mixed with sugar, it becomes a uniquely flavorful drink that is sweet and tangy. Sliced and dried, the quince can be used in traditional Chinese medicine to benefit the liver, regulate the stomach, strengthen the spleen, and promote blood circulation. It can also treat conditions such as heatstroke, cholera, vomiting, diarrhea, and beriberi, and is especially effective in treating muscle cramps.
