What it is
Dried Mission figs are the ripe fruit of the Mission fig tree, a variety originating from Spain. The figs are harvested when mature and then dried, typically through sun-drying or dehydration, to preserve them and concentrate their natural sugars and flavors.
Why it's used
Dried figs are often used as a natural sweetener and texturizer in a variety of foods. Their chewy texture and sweet, jammy flavor make them a popular ingredient in snack bars, baked goods, cereals, and as a component in savory dishes like salads and cheese boards.
Health notes
Dried figs are a source of dietary fiber, potassium, and various antioxidants. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. While no specific upper intake limits have been set by regulatory bodies like JECFA or EFSA, like all foods, excessive consumption may lead to digestive discomfort due to their fiber content.
Allergen info
Dried figs are not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
