Origins

Figs trees are deciduous shrubs that can grow up to 10 meters in height and are adorned with lovely fragrant leaves. Fig trees originated in the Middle East and Western Asia and tend to thrive only in temperate regions that experience hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Cultivated since ancient times, the fig is officially not a fruit at all, but rather an inverted flower that is also known as the ‘false fruit’. The edible part of the fig grows to between 3 and 5 centimetres in length and can ripen from a vivid green to a deep purple or light brown colour.

Quantity and dosage

One serving is equivalent to 25g of dried figs. One 100g bag of dried figs contains up to 4 servings, depending on the quantity that you eat.
