Delicious dried figs

Dried fruit

Dried figs are a true superfood that impress with their flavour, nutrients and versatility. They are rich in fibre, vitamins such as B6 and valuable minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron, making them a natural source of energy. Their natural sweetness and slightly caramelised flavour, combined with a soft, chewy texture and the crunchy seeds inside, make them an unmistakable treat.

Visually, dried figs stand out with their light brown to golden colour, often with a fine white coating of natural fructose - a sign of their quality and natural origin. Thanks to the drying process, they have a long shelf life and are ideal for storage without the need for additional refrigeration.

The possible uses are almost limitless: whether on their own as a snack, in muesli, desserts or savoury dishes such as sauces and fillings - dried figs are a real all-rounder in the kitchen. They are particularly appreciated as a healthy alternative to refined sugar, as they contain only natural sweetness.

Figs can also look back on thousands of years of history and are still cultivated today in countries such as Turkey, Greece and California. Their aromatic flavour and versatile uses make them an integral part of a healthy and enjoyable diet.

Variety in processing

Protoben figs

Characteristics:
Protoben figs are dried figs in their original form, in which the fruit is completely preserved. They are neither pressed nor processed in any other way.

Quality:
They are considered to be of particularly high quality as they are not deformed and retain their natural state.

Use:
Protoben figs are ideal as a snack or for recipes in which the appearance and undamaged shape of the fruit are important.

Pulled figs

Characteristics:
Pulled figs are gently stretched or pulled to achieve a softer and more tender consistency. In the process, they are moulded into a flatter shape.

Quality:
Stretching makes them appear larger and easier to process. The flavour remains unchanged, but the texture becomes more pleasant.

Use:
Ideal for further processing in baked goods, desserts or savoury dishes, as they are easier to cut or fill.

Flour figs

Characteristics:
Flour figs are dried figs that are dusted with a thin layer of rice flour or starch. This serves to separate the figs from each other and prevent them from sticking together.

Quality:
They are often smaller and easier to process. The flour layer also protects the figs during storage.

Use:
They are often used in the food industry or in baking, but are also excellent as a snack.
