Dried figs, a pleasantly sweet, exotic treat full of vitamins, beneficial substances and necessary fiber. Plus, they are surprisingly soft and crunchy.

The wonder of the Orient

Figs, this highly nutritious fruit is native to the Ancient Orient. They have become popular not only for their pleasantly sweet taste, but also for their longer lasting satiety compared to other fruits. For many, they were an important part of their livelihood. [1, 2]

Pearl of the Mediterranean

Around the Mediterranean you can enjoy the taste of the divine figs. Whether fresh or dried, you will find them in almost every traditional dish. Given their high nutritional value, it's no wonder they have become the daily bread of the local populations. According to surviving writings, figs are a symbol of peace, abundance and prosperity. [3]

Cultivation and production

Fully ripe, sun-dried

A significant disadvantage of figs is that they ripen very quickly. After harvesting, they must be immediately processed, in this case dried in the most gentle way, in the sun.

Without sulphur dioxide and added sugar

The figs are not treated with sulphur dioxide** as part of the processing process, giving them a darker colour and a milder taste. No sweetening.

To prevent them from sticking

As figs are, themselves, a source of natural sugars, they tend to glue together. The sticking is prevented by the thin layer of rice flour that is sprinkled on them.
