Medlars - what are its useful qualities and a marmalade recipe

Very little is known about the properties of the mess - this unpretentious fruit, whether in wild or cultivated form. The flesh is used.

Fruit Medlars/Mespllus germanica ripen in September, picked up in October, but can remain on the tree after the frosts fall in November. After leaning, the hard fruit softens and becomes sweet. The marshmallowers that had been collected before they camped until darkened, darkened to dark brown and lost their tingling. So they are ready for consumption and processing. If you forget them, they mold and rot.

Sugar content increases due to the degradation of starch to beads and sugars. This takes place in a 2 to 3-week, indoor spa, when many of the tanning substances break down and the fetal taste improves.

Fructose is more than glucose in the cultured broth. Sucrose, which improves the taste of the mellow fruit, breaks down on fructose and glucose when fermented. These three types of sugars of 7% prior to the camp have reached 14% after it.

Of the organic acids in the messula, the apple, the lemon and the wine are predominant. In fermentation, they form acetic acid. Starch before camping is up to 6%, then drops to 1%. Of the mineral salts in 100 g of medlar, the most are potassium (250 mg), magnesium (10 mg), phosphorous (20 mg) and sodium (3-4 mg). Vitamins are: B1 (0.3-0.5 mg), B4 (0.3-0.4 mg) and C (5 mg).
