Dried figs

DRIED FIGS
Lovingly called figos in Portugal…
Figs have been traditionally cultivated in the Algarve and are very popular for making sweets and desserts.
Our figs have soaked up plenty of sunshine — they are untreated, naturally dried, light in color, and wonderfully juicy — the perfect alternative to pralines, chocolate, cookies, cakes, bars, and other sugary temptations.
Figs are just as sweet, yet they are a valuable and completely natural energy booster!
Dried figs have one of the highest alkaline values among all dried fruits, making them a particularly healthy and valuable food for maintaining a balanced acid-base level in the body.
Thanks to their high content of vitamins and minerals, dried figs can help effectively combat fatigue, low energy, and concentration problems.

STORAGE / SHELF LIFE
Store dried figs in a dark, cool, and dry place. However, we do not recommend keeping them in the refrigerator, as the humidity there is too high. The ideal storage temperature is between 8 and 12°C (46–54°F). Use airtight, light-protected containers for best results.
Because dried figs have a slightly higher moisture content than most other dried fruits, they are not quite as long-lasting. When stored properly, however, they can be kept for several months without issue. Improper storage may cause the surface to become sticky and can lead to mold or yeast growth. Poorly stored figs may also ferment and develop an unpleasant odor.
