Quince Seed | Cydonia Oblonga | Persian Quince | Organic

Description

Quince seed is the seed of the Persian quince, Cydonia oblonga, sold here carefully dried, well-sealed and packed to preserve the seeds’ natural qualities, as the original listing describes them. Each seed carries an embryonic germ, capable of resuming growth under the right conditions of temperature, water and oxygen — the listing’s own botanical note on what a seed is. The educational reference for the fruit is Cydonia oblonga.

Using quince seed in infusions

The uses the page names are infusion-based: the seeds can be used in herbal infusions or teas for a naturally aromatic cup, and the page places them for culinary or botanical preparations generally. Added to herbal blends, the page says, the seeds bring a unique flavor and texture — the seeds are used whole, measured by the spoonful into the preparation.

As a dried seed, quince seed is handled like other whole seeds: kept in its sealed pack until use, measured out in the quantity a preparation calls for, and the remainder returned to the pack and resealed. The seeds’ dried state is what the listing’s packing protects — “carefully dried, well-sealed, and packed” are the listing’s own three phrases for how the product reaches you.

Choosing a size of quince seed

The listing’s precaution is kept with the product: the seeds are intended for traditional botanical use only, and Ourland Herbs recommends consulting a qualified professional before incorporating new botanicals into your routine. Store the seeds sealed in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture.

Choose from 75 g, 150 g, 250 g and 450 g sizes; the page names 75 grams as its pack size, and the larger sizes suit regular infusion making, blend preparation and bulk keeping. Plainly stated: dried Persian quince seeds, Cydonia oblonga, for infusions and culinary or botanical preparations, in four sizes.
