Frequently Asked Questions (Google's Top Searches)
What is the difference between Turkish Figs and Mission Figs?
Turkish Figs (often called Smyrna or Lerida figs) have a light golden-brown skin, a soft amber interior, and a mild, honey-sweet flavor with a soft texture. Black Mission Figs have a dark purple-black skin, a deep pink interior, and an intensely sweet, earthy flavor. Turkish figs are generally preferred for their delicate sweetness and thin, soft skins.
What is the white powder on dried Turkish figs?
The light dusting on the outside of dried figs is almost always naturally crystallized fruit sugar (glucose and fructose). As the moisture evaporates during the natural drying process, the fruit sugars migrate to the skin and form a fine, powdery bloom. It is completely natural, safe to eat, and a sign of a sweet, properly dried fig!
Are dried Turkish figs good for constipation and digestion?
Yes. Dried figs are celebrated globally for supporting digestive wellness. They contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, as well as prebiotics that nourish beneficial gut bacteria. Eating 2 to 3 dried figs daily alongside plenty of water is a popular natural remedy for maintaining regularity.
Are dried Turkish figs suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets?
Yes! Our dried Turkish figs are 100% plant-based, vegan, and naturally gluten-free, containing no added sulfur, dairy, or gluten-containing ingredients.
Do you need to soak dried figs before eating them?
No, our Turkish figs are naturally soft and ready to eat straight out of the bag. However, if you are using them for baking, blending into purees, or making fig jam, soaking them in warm water for 10–15 minutes will make them extra plump and easy to chop.
How should dried Turkish figs be stored?
Store your dried figs in an airtight container or resealable bag in a cool, dark, and dry pantry. To maintain their soft, moist texture and extend their shelf life for up to 12 months, keep them sealed in the refrigerator, especially during warm summer months.
