Figs are the fruit of the tree normally from the Mediterranean region. They have a unique, sweet taste, soft and chewy texture perfect for baking. Fresh figs can be delicate and perishable, so are often dried to help preserve them. This produces a sweet and nutritious dried fruit that can be enjoyed all year round. Figs, both dried and fresh, are a great source of fibre and are full of vitamins and minerals and used in a lot of dishes. These include Chicken with Port and Figs and a Figgy Breakfast Loaf.
