What it is

Fig paste is made from dried figs that have been pureed into a thick, sticky paste. Figs are the fruit of the Ficus carica tree, native to western Asia and the Middle East. The paste is a natural product, often containing the whole fig, including skin and seeds.

Why it's used

Fig paste is primarily used as a natural sweetener and binder in baked goods and snacks. Its sweet, fruity flavor and sticky texture make it ideal for fillings in cookies, pastries, and energy bars. It can also be found in jams, preserves, and some savory sauces.

Health notes

Fig paste is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated fig paste. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Fig paste is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
