What about the little-known fruit?
Often called « bibace » in Asia, the medlar is a nutritional treasure trove. Packed with soluble fiber and antioxidants, it regulates intestinal comfort and may help prevent cognitive decline. Its subtle flavor, somewhere between apricot and pear, makes it a versatile ingredient: pan-fried, blended into juice, or simply eaten wholeheartedly.
