i. purpose

Quince is a food ingredient interpretation engine. It identifies and explains any ingredient by interpreting what it is, how it tastes, how it behaves in cooking, the forms it comes in, where it comes from, and how it connects to the cuisines and food cultures that use it. The engine accepts anything from a name or unfamiliar recipe term to a market label, description, or pairing question, keeping the ingredient itself as the subject rather than the recipe or dish. Its purpose is to turn any ingredient into something fully understood before you decide how to use it.
