Description   Tasty, fresh, and top of the line quality Turkish Dried Figs. Gourmet style processed and packed in a container. These figs are all natural with no preservatives and one of the sweetest fruits available. If you like dried figs, you may also want to try our Organic Turkish Figs. Net weight: 8.5 oz (241 gr) Figs in General There are many varieties of figs, but three main types: black, red or white; the color range has no effect on the taste. They are extensively grown and exported from Europe and the Middle East including Brazil, France, Greece, and Turkey. Eaten fresh, they can be eaten whole with the skin, or peeled, as you prefer. Raw, ripe figs will not keep very long and will spoil quickly. Should they have a strong odor our sour smell, they should not be eaten. On the other hand, dried figs have a quite long shelf life when stored properly in air tight containers. Figs should never be stored in plastic bags; a brown paper bag is best for fresh figs. Glass or stoneware with tight fitting lids are preferred for dried fig extended storage; our TurkishCorner fig containers with lids are quite sufficient for normal time period storage. Eating a serving of dried figs is the same as getting a day of abundant sunshine and an exceptional dose of healthy nutrition! Figs are high in calcium for healthy bones, hair and skin, and contain Vitamins A,B, and C. One serving provides more calcium than a glass of milk and they are a great source of potassium, containing more per serving than a cup of orange juice. Figs are high in natural sugar content, thus, high in calories. However, they are also high in fiber and contain no fat. They have a high content of pectin, which is known to reduce blood cholestrol. Turkish Figs Dried Turkish Figs are grown without pesticides or chemicals, so they are naturally organic. Dried figs are usually harvested in the fall, for instance the gold Smyrna fig, or purple Mission fig grown in Turkey. Our Turkish figs are sweet, full-flavored, plump and chewy. Take a serving of our naturally grown Turkish figs and that abundant day of sunshine today!
