Figs

Figs are not only very popular fruit for their taste, soft texture and various alternatives for consumption, but also low in calories and fat-free. High in fiber, figs are both delicious and nutritious. Containing 45 mg of calcium in 30 grams, figs reinforce regular bone health. Approximately 30 grams of dried figs cover 11% of daily requirement for fiber. Dried figs contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber slows down digestion for appetite and blood glucose management and helps lower blood cholesterol levels. Insoluble fiber improves intestinal functions. Figs are a good source for many enriching vitamins, antioxidants and minerals and help regulate your general health. Including various calcium-, potassium- and iron-rich foods such as figs in your diet can help you meet your daily mineral requirements. 1 serving (30 grams) of dried figs
covers 3% of daily requirement for iron.
