I’ve been a huge fan of Baby Figs for almost all of my life The seeds are actually a useful source of fibre. The pulp of the fruit is also an amazing form of water-soluble fibre. All in all figs are great if you have constipation.
Because figs come from a tropical climate aflatoxins can be a problem also salmonella could be a possible issue when the figs are coming from athird world or developing country. The highest quality figs come from Turkey including the legendary Lerida Fig.
Figs are terribly high in Tryptophan ( 5HTP ) which is thought to help with getting a good night’s sleep. This makes baby figs particularly well liked by folk making an attempt to fight sleeplessness. Baby Figs are also great at helping to chill the mind and body after a busy day at work and theyare even reputed to help in the bed!
I love to buy my figs typically online because theyare so heavy and you can get some great prices. However , sometimes I buy them from my local whole food shop, but infrequently the quality can be poor. Poor quality dried figs can be very dry and sugary. The sugar appearance is from the fructose and itis very natural. If you want to freshen up the dried figs that have crystallised it is simple - just wash them!
I have got to admit that Imight be lost without figs. They’re so healthful and good for you. Fresh figs naturally are better but dried figs are still packed with nutriments.
I’ve been a runner for many years and I’ve been experimenting with using wholefoods in my diet. I really think that dried fruit is one of the best kinds of energy for sportsmen. The dried figs are a great slow release energy foods.
Figs are one of the few fruit that can fruit all year around, so theyare great at supporting wild life. The fig tree is a good way of locking carbon into the soil. So if you eat dried figs you arenot only saving yourself but you are saving the planet!
