Dried figs are plump and tender, with a soft yet slightly grainy interior that envelops tiny edible seeds. In cooking, they are prized for their ability to add natural sweetness and richness to both savory and sweet dishes, while also contributing a moist texture to baked goods and stuffings. They rehydrate well and can be used in a variety of culinary applications, from salads to desserts.
