The dried fig is known for its rich nutritional value, such as iron, calcium, etc. and is part of the Mediterranean Diet for centuries. Askada Farm traditionally produces dried fig conveyed from generation to generation. Fig collectors still use traditional harvesting and dehydration methods to produce dried figs.
The cultivation of these trees gives us the chance to produce these golden-colored figs, with delicate skin and fluffy and soft texture. Full of aromas and tastes from the local herbs. They are lusciously sweet and feature a complex texture that combines the chewiness of their flesh, the smoothness of their skin, and the crunchiness of their seeds.
Figs are a healing fruit and the health benefits of eating figs are amazing. They are an excellent source of minerals, antioxidants and dietary fiber.
Product of Greece
Stuff them with goat or sheep cheese and crushed walnuts for a light but flavorful appetizer. Alternatively, simmer them in water, red wine, or juice to make them soft and plump and ideal for sauces, marinades, chutneys, and glazes.
They are also delicious when blended with rice or quinoa, spices, and chicken or duck in pilafs. While irresistible in salads, these figs are also delicious sliced thinly into sandwiches, or simply served along with your favorite cheese.
A chewy treat perfect at any time of the day.
