Melissa’s Organic California Mission Figs come from organic California orchards that produce the most consistently delicious figs available. Mission figs have a taste that some describe as a mix of strawberry, melon and banana. When dried, their sweetness is amplified, and their texture is chewy with a satisfying crunch from tender seeds at the center of the fruit.
Dried figs are a great grab-and-go snack. They have zero fat and are sodium-free. They are high in fiber with a good amount of manganese, magnesium, potassium, calcium and vitamins K and C.
Eat them out-of-hand or chop and add to baked goods, granola or salads. For a savory “meaty” flavor, blend figs with dried tomatoes and smokey seasonings for a steak-like taste. In addition, dried figs can also be rehydrated in warm water and used in recipes that call for fresh figs.
