Organic Fig Powder

Organic fig powder is made from dried organic figs that have been ground into a fine powder. Figs are fruits that grow on trees native to western Asia and the Middle East. The powder retains the natural sweetness and fiber of the whole fruit.

Manufacturers use organic fig powder primarily as a natural sweetener and source of fiber in food products. It can also add a subtle fruity flavor and color. It is commonly found in energy bars, granola bars, cereals, and baked goods.

Organic fig powder 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 figs and fig products, but no specific health concerns are associated with its typical use in foods. As a whole food ingredient, it is not subject to the same regulatory scrutiny as isolated food additives.
