Figs are a type of fruit that come from the Ficus tree, which is part of the Moraceae family. They are unique in that they are an inverted flower, with the seeds contained within the fruit. Figs have a sweet taste and a soft, chewy texture. They are consumed both fresh and dried and are popular in various cuisines worldwide.
Figs are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin A, vitamin K, and some of the B vitamins), and minerals (including potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron). They can be enjoyed on their own, added to salads, used in baking, or incorporated into both sweet and savory dishes. Dried figs are commonly found in desserts, trail mixes, and as a snack.
