Q.E. Brix Values Higher Than Average

Thanks to the technical assistance of Earth Fort, we have identified the brix value of our Russian quince to be just over 15. What this means in lay terms is that our quince fruit is higher than the average quince in natural sugar content, meaning that it is actually edible raw without adding additional sugar. In fact, cooking the quince in water produces a wonderful syrup that is thick (natural pectin) and delightful, especially when added to other natural fruit juices or fruit smoothies (we like papaya!).
