A Miracle of the Orient

Figs, this highly nutritious fruit, originated in the Ancient Orient. They became popular not only for their pleasantly sweet taste but also because, compared to other fruits, they kept you full for longer. For many, they were therefore an important part of their sustenance. [1, 2]

A Mediterranean Gem

The Mediterranean, here too you can enjoy divine figs. Whether fresh or dried, you'll find them in almost every traditional dish. Given their high nutritional value, it's no wonder they became the „daily bread“ of the local inhabitants. According to preserved 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 processed immediately, in our case, dried in the gentlest way possible, in the sun.

Sulphur Dioxide and Added Sugar Free

During processing, the figs are not treated with sulphur dioxide, so they have a darker colour and a milder taste. They are not sweetened either.

To Prevent Sticking

Since figs are, by themselves, a source of natural sugars, they tend to stick together. Sticking is prevented by a thin layer of rice flour with which they are dusted.
