Figs

A primary dietary staple of ancient civilizations, the fig, both dried and fresh, has been popular for its health benefits. The fig contains many vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, copper and magnesium. These nutritional elements help to prevent cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and type 2 diabetes.

The dried fig is rich in antioxidants and fibre which make it a smart choice for those who wish to improve their digestion and bowel function.
