Carbohydrate Type Breakdown
As previously mentioned, 100g of quince contains 15.3g of carbs, 13.4g of net carbs, and 1.9g of dietary fiber.
Consequently, one fruit without refuse (serving size 92g) contains 14.1g of carbs and 1.7g of dietary fiber.
Quince net carbs
Quince is not particularly low in net carbs: 13.4g per 100g; therefore, it is preferred to avoid it during low-carb diets.
Soluble and insoluble fiber
Quince is a great source of pectin, a soluble dietary fiber used in the jam industry (1). However, the percentage of overall soluble dietary fiber in quince is not calculated yet.
