Fig

Fig is a sweet Mediterranean fruit commonly eaten fresh or dried and used in salads, desserts, preserves and Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. It is prized for its soft, jammy texture and honey-like sweetness. Nutrition-wise, Fig provides a modest amount of dietary fiber at 2.9g per 100g and delivers small amounts of B vitamins and minerals, while being low in protein and fat. From a health perspective, Fig is a satiating, fiber-containing fruit that can be a nutritious alternative to refined sweets; it also supplies minor trace minerals and B vitamins. Because it is relatively high in natural sugars compared with some berries, swapping to lower-sugar fresh berries can be useful when trying to reduce added or total sugars.
