Light-coloured mountain figs, organic 400 g

Raw food light-coloured organic mountain figs

The fig tree is one of the oldest plants on earth to be cultivated and utilised by humans. This tree has been famous all over the world for thousands of years: Its most famous mention is certainly in the Bible, when the fig leaf was used by Adam and Eve to cover their nakedness. But in Greece and ancient Rome, the fig as its fruit also made it into numerous traditional legends, sagas and works of art. It was a symbol of fertility and was said to have an aphrodisiac effect.

The fig - a valuable fruit and source of energy
Figs are one of the oldest foods in the world. They provide us with a wealth of carbohydrates, vital substances, digestive enzymes, minerals, amino acids and more. They are a sweet, alkalising and filling food with only around 250 kilocalories per 100g of dried fruit. While fresh figs are not available all year round, dried figs have a long shelf life and are particularly flavoursome. They contain a wealth of ingredients, such as

+ vitamins
such as vitamins C and E, vitamins B1, B2 and B6, pantothenic acid, biotin and folic acid

+Minerals
such as particularly high levels of potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron

+ secondary plant substances
such as essential amino acids and fibre

+ enzymes

Our light-coloured mountain figs are sun-kissed and particularly soft!
Ripened in the sun in Turkey's best fig region, our light-coloured mountain figs are given time to dry naturally on the tree. After harvesting, our organic figs are spread out in the sun for final drying, thus preserving their naturally sweet flavour and special juiciness. The flavour of our soft, organically grown figs cannot be compared with commercially available dried figs! They are processed gently without any additives such as sulphur, preserving nutrients and vitamins and are of the highest raw food quality. Our light-coloured mountain figs are a sweet snack for between meals and on the go, but also an ideal ingredient for raw food cake batters, desserts and shakes.

Insider tip from the Keimling-team: We often need soaked figs for raw food dishes. To do this, soak the sliced fruit in water overnight and process it the following day in a blender or food processor to make cake batters or smoothies. Never throw away the soaking water! Overnight it has turned into a refreshing, calcium-rich fig drink!
