Medlar

Medlar is best enjoyed fresh, naturally ripe, and easily digestible for all ages. It can also be used in jams or preserved in syrup. Store medlars in a cool place at room temperature for optimal ripening, or chill briefly before serving to enjoy their refreshing flavor. At Alba Exotic Fruit, we carefully select medlars at peak ripeness to deliver superior taste and quality.

Description

Medlar is one of the earliest stone fruits to ripen, with harvest beginning as early as March in certain regions. It has an ovoid shape, with a shiny, juicy, and compact pulp that turns orange or yellow at peak ripeness. The easily removable skin protects a seed that can occupy up to 40% of the fruit’s volume, which can be gently pressed out. Known for its unique sweet flavor, medlar can be slightly acidic depending on the variety, with popular types including Algar, Callosa, Bernia, and Nadal.

Medlar offers natural astringent properties, supports digestive health, and provides diuretic and antidiarrheal benefits. It may also help reduce cholesterol and support circulatory and cardiovascular wellness.
