Regards to Quince It is narrated by Talhah Ibn ‘UbaidIllah who said, “I came to the Messenger of Allahﷺ whilst he ﷺ had a quince in his blessed hand. Heﷺ threw it towards me and said, “Take it O Abu Muhammad! For indeed it soothes the heart.”
The quince’s origins are in the Caucasus – the region between the Caspian and Black seas – as well as in northern Persia, according to The Splendid Table. It has even been considered the catalyst of the Trojan War, as told by Greek legend. From there, the usefulness of the quince in cooking spread to medieval banquet halls and beyond. Commonly enjoyed in the tropical regions of Latin America and Mexico today, the quince has maintained its popularity and found its way into the western culture of food and cooking.
