FIGS

While their season is short, figs are a tasty summer staple! They’re perfectly sweet, have a unique texture and are loaded with health benefits you probably didn’t even realize! Since summer technically isn’t over yet, we wanted to highlight figs for this week’s Superfood Spotlight!

Figs, whether they’re fresh or dried, are loaded with essential vitamins and
nutrients – nutrients such as magnesium, calcium and potassium, and vitamins such as K and B6. That’s not all! Figs contain dietary fiber that helps regulate the digestive system and help promote weight loss by keeping you feeling satisfied. There is so much more to share about these healthy little fruits, but we don’t want to ruin all the fun! Check out more fig facts below:

Even some of our favorite healthy snack brands have hoped on the fig train! All of Nature’s Bakery bars use figs as their main ingredient, and Newman’s Own Organics made a healthy version of your favorite childhood classic fig newton called Fig Newmans!
