Dried Figs

Dried figs are the preserved fruit of the common fig tree, Ficus carica, which has been cultivated since ancient times in regions spanning from the Middle East to the Mediterranean. These fruits undergo a drying process that concentrates their natural sugars, resulting in a chewy texture and a deep, complex sweetness often accompanied by subtle notes of caramel and honey. 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.
