Benefits
Natural
Wrapped in a biscuity coating, on your cereal, in your skincare… this jammy beauty really can do it all! Dried figs are packed with tiny seeds that gently exfoliate the skin. Fruit enzymes, alongside vitamins A and C, help keep the skin looking healthy and glowing.
Fig trees belong to a large family of plants called Moraceae, many of which are cultivated for their beautiful leaves. The common fig (Ficus carica) is grown for its ‘fruits,’ which are actually inside-out flowers. The fruits can come in many colours, shapes and sizes. Figs have been associated with deities throughout history and have been cultivated since at least 5000BC.
