What Are Organic Dried Figs? Figs are truly a gift from nature, used for thousands of years by humans, they have long been valued as a potent source of sustenance and nutrition, for which they are still highly sought after today. Do not let their appearance deceive you, they may not be quite as aesthetically appealing as some dried fruits, but figs have it all where counts for most...on the inside! They are overwhelmingly healthy despite their sugary appearance. All the sugars that collect on the fig are 100% naturally occurring, Not a drop has been added! The sugars precipitate during the drying process as the water content of the fig is reduced. In any case, they can and will make a wholesome and healthy component to your diet, lets have a look why.... Why Should I Get Organic Dried Figs? Figs (Like Prunes) are often recommended to nourish and tone the intestine, thanks to their gentle, natural laxative effect. We have their massively high fibre content to thank for this effect, which is also complimented by plenty of, vitamin A, B1, B2, B6,calcium, iron, phosphorus, manganese, sodium, potassium and more! They were long used as a sweetener in the time before refined sugar and they still make for a great and healthy alternative today, going especially well with breakfast and dessert. It must be said that Figs make a particularly delicious snack on their own where the best of their sweet and chewy texture, smooth skin and crunchy seeds is combined. Figs are very good for rehydrating too, if you prefer a plumper, juicier bite! To rehydrate them, just soak them for 15-20 minutes in warm water for some added tenderness or leave overnight for some real ripeness! An amazingly delicious trick is soaking them in fruit juice rather than water for an especially indulgent and healthy treat every once in a while... You can thank me later!
