Whole Black Mission Figs
These whole black mission figs are by far the sweetest and most familiar within the fig family. Our dried black figs can be enjoyed straight, reduced into sauces, mixed into baked goods, or atop salads or desserts.
Raw figs have a short life, but once dried, you’d be hard pressed to keep from eating them long enough for them to go bad. Create bruschetta and chutneys or pair with yogurt or cheese and crackers for a delicious bite. The savory-sweet fruit is also popular in not-so-traditional meals, like on top of pizza.
Figs have been around for centuries. Deemed by some “the healthiest food in the world,” the fig is not technically a fruit at all, but rather an inverted flower that buds twice a year. Other types of figs include brown turkey figs, adriatic, kadota and calimyrna white figs. These are delightful too, but none are as sweet as the black mission fig, which we also offer in chopped pieces.
It gets even better! Figs are packed with fiber and calcium and have no fat. They are low in calories, help lower cholesterol and maintain blood sugar levels. Loaded with vitamins and minerals, including Vitamins A, C, K, B, zinc, copper, potassium, magnesium and manganese, black figs just might be one fo the healthiest foods in the world.
