What it is

Dried figs are whole or chopped figs that have had most of their water removed through drying. They are the fruit of the Ficus carica tree, native to western Asia and the Middle East. Drying concentrates their natural sugars and nutrients.

Why it's used

Dried figs are often used as a natural sweetener and provide texture in baked goods and snacks. They are commonly found in cereals, granola bars, crackers, cookies, and fruitcake.

Health notes

Dried figs are a source of dietary fiber, potassium, and magnesium. The FDA lists dried figs as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated dried figs and their components. While generally considered healthy, their high sugar content means moderation is advised, especially for individuals managing blood sugar.

Allergen info

Dried figs are not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
