Allergens are certain substances that cause a very strong reaction from the body. Most often, allergies are diagnosed in early childhood, but it is not excluded that they appear completely suddenly with advancing years.
Food allergies are associated with the consumption of certain products that provoke a hypersensitivity reaction expressed in the following symptoms: tingling or itching in the mouth, skin rash (most often accompanied by itching), swelling of the mouth, face, throat or other parts of the body. Can we be allergic to quinces?
Persimmon are a plant of the Rose family with a very specific taste and aroma. Quince fruit syrup is sometimes used to treat stubborn heartburn, morning sickness, hay fever.
Quince jam, jelly, quince marmalade and pudding, juice and wine are made from the fruit.
Quince is not one of the strongest allergens, but it is important to note that the consumption of any food, including quince, can cause a specific reaction.
Since this fruit is consumed relatively rarely, it is difficult to determine the frequency of allergic reactions.
However, it is possible for people with allergies to peaches, apricots, plums to have an allergic reaction after consuming quinces since they are all from the same family.
In this regard, we advise you to introduce quinces into your daily menu with caution, but not to give them up without reason, as they can actually have a very beneficial effect on your health.
