Organic Turkish Figs

Dried organic Turkish figs are sun dried and a delectable treat. Their sweet, mellow flavor makes dried Turkish figs a favorite for snacking and appeals to a wide variety of cuisines. Naturally rich in sugar, figs have one of the highest natural sugar contents of any fruit, and as a result, a delicate white coating may occasionally form on the surface. This natural sugaring is most common in the sweetest figs and is a hallmark of quality, not spoilage-the fruit remains perfectly safe to eat and enjoy. They are also an excellent source of dietary fiber, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Our Turkish figs are certified organic by CCOF.

Health Benefits of Organic Turkish Figs

The antioxidant boost provided by fruit consumption lasts about 2 hours. Which dried fruits are the best? Of the six fruits tested--apricots, cranberries, dates, figs, raisins and plums--shooting to a surprise finish at number one was... figs! Even the high fructose corn syrup in the soda is no match for the antioxidant power of fruit. Despite the double sugar load, subjects washing down their figs with soda still experienced an overall rise in antioxidant levels in their bloodstream. In addition to having the highest antioxidant content among the six fruits tested, of the thousands of whole foods in the USDA nutrient database, figs make the top ten for fiber content.
