Welcome to The Nut Bar home for all nuts, seeds, and fruits that are fresh and of high quality. Here we want to look at something very great called the Dried Fig.

What is a Dried Fig?

Dried figs are fruits that have been dehydrated, resulting in a chewy and sweet dried fruit. They are made from fresh figs, which are allowed to dry naturally or through controlled dehydration methods.

When it comes to its Production keep in mind the Dried Figs at The Nut Bar have gone through the right channels. To create dried figs, fresh figs are either left to naturally dry in the sun or are dried under controlled conditions to eliminate the majority of their moisture. One thing you can be rest assured about is that our fruit retains its sweetness and flavour during drying, and the procedure gives the fruit a chewy texture.

The interesting thing about Dried figs is that they have a mildly sweet flavour and a soft, chewy texture. They have a flavour that is rich, sweet, and fruity, and hints of caramel and honey. During the drying process, the natural sugars in figs become more concentrated, enhancing their inherent sweetness.
