Description
Dry figs, also known as dried figs, are a nutritious and delicious dried fruit made by dehydrating fresh figs (Ficus carica). They have been consumed for thousands of years and are valued for their sweet taste, chewy texture, and health benefits.
Key Features of Dry Figs:

- Chewy & Dense Texture: Softer than fresh figs but with concentrated flavor.
- Long Shelf Life: Unlike fresh figs, dried figs can be stored for months.
