When you enjoy California Dried Figs, you help yourself to a taste of good health. Whether you savor flavorful figs as a snack or in your favorite recipes, figs are always a good source of dietary fiber, a wealth of essential minerals such as potassium, iron and calcium, and rich in health-promoting antioxidants and complex carbohydrates.

Because figs are a whole food source of important nutrients and have no fat, cholesterol or sodium, they help you meet today’s Dietary Guidelines established by the US Department of Agriculture. A daily lifestyle that focuses on balancing calories, making informed food choices, and being physically active can help you attain and maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk of chronic disease, and promote overall health.

California Dried Figs are a terrific total package—great nutrition and great taste.

Figs are nutritional powerhouses that outshine many other dried fruit products. No wonder figs are often referred to as Nature's Perfect Food.

Figs: Nature’s Sweet-Tasting Nutrition Powerhouse

Americans currently consume too much sodium and too many calories from solid fats, added sugars, and refined grains. These replace nutrient-rich foods like figs and make it difficult for people to achieve recommended nutrient intakes while controlling calorie and sodium intake.

A healthy eating plan limits intake of sodium, solid fats, added sugars, and refined grains and emphasizes nutrient-rich foods and beverages—fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, seafood, lean meats and poultry, eggs, beans and peas, and nuts and seeds. Americans do not get enough calcium, vitamin D, potassium and dietary fiber.

The Nutrition Label is packed with information - find out more about the key nutrients figs provide below.
