What goes with Fig?
Fig is a multiple fruit rich in fructose, glucose, soluble fibre, pectin, minerals and aromatic terpenes. Its soft texture, high natural sugar content and subtle earthy notes distinguish it from most other fruits. Fresh figs are delicate and highly aromatic, while dried figs become significantly sweeter and more concentrated.
