What it is
Fig concentrate is made from dried figs that have been processed into a thick liquid. Figs are fruits that grow on the Ficus carica tree. The concentrate is produced by pureeing the dried fruit and sometimes adding water or other ingredients to achieve the desired consistency.
Why it's used
Fig concentrate is primarily used as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in foods. Its concentrated fruit sugars provide sweetness, while its natural fig flavor adds depth. It is commonly found in baked goods, snack bars, jams, jellies, and some sauces and dressings.
Health notes
Fig concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, fiber, and some minerals. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fruit-based ingredients. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Fig concentrate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
