This New Year we’re partnering with our friends from Valley Fig Growers to bring you some smart & achievable meal prep tips, and amazing recipes.

During the month of January you’ll be seeing Valley Fig Growers’ Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Mission Dried Figs and our Organic Whole Wheat Flour or Organic Farro featured in some super tasty and prep-friendly recipes from several savvy food bloggers. Along with a recipe, they’ll be sharing their own meal prep tips and ideas about setting SMART goals.

We couldn’t wait to jump into the kitchen after we opened up a bag of California Mission Figs. Just like our Organic Whole Wheat Flour, they are a great source of dietary fiber and are also rich in potassium, iron, calcium, and antioxidants. Their balanced sweetness makes them perfect for baking, helping you reduce the added sugar without compromising on flavor (and they make amazing whole wheat muffins with figs!).
