What it is
Dried figs are whole figs that have had most of their water removed through drying, either in the sun or using dehydrators. Figs are the fruit of the Ficus carica tree, native to western Asia and the Middle East. The drying process concentrates their natural sugars and nutrients.
Why it's used
Dried figs are often used as a natural sweetener and texturizer in baked goods, snack bars, and cereals. Their chewy texture and sweet flavor make them a popular ingredient in trail mixes and as a standalone snack.
Health notes
Dried figs are a source of dietary fiber, potassium, and magnesium. The FDA considers dried figs to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated dried figs, and they are widely consumed without significant reported health concerns at typical intake levels.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Dried figs are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They are naturally gluten-free.
