What it is

Fig spread is a sweet, thick paste made from dried figs. The figs are typically rehydrated, cooked down with sugar and sometimes other flavorings like lemon juice or spices, until they form a jam-like consistency.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use fig spread primarily as a sweetener and flavor enhancer. Its natural sweetness and fruity notes make it a popular addition to baked goods, cheese pairings, sandwiches, and as a topping for yogurt or toast.

Health notes

Fig spread is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of dietary fiber and natural sugars. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit preparations. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming fig spread in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Fig spread is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
