It is believed that quinces were produced in ancient Babylon and it was introduced in ancient Greece where quince was sacred to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and fertility. Quinces were later introduced in Rome and later introduced in many parts of Europe.

I received my first box yesterday, and I am highly impressed with the packaging. None of the fruits were bruised, and they were maintained at an appropriate temperature. I am enjoying the experience of trying out new fruits that I had not encountered before. Wildlife
