Figs are part of the mulberry family, and they contain:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B1
- Vitamin B2
- Calcium
- Iron
- Manganese
- Phosphorus
- Potassium
- Dietary Fibre
They are an alkaline food, and are rich in the antioxidants – flavonoids and polyphenols, which help to protect your cells against free radical damage.
*Figs are a uniquely nutritious fruit, as they have the highest amount of calcium of any fruit, and 100g (3.5 oz) of dried figs contains 16% of the daily recommended amount. Figs are also an excellent source of dietary fiber. Fruit fiber has been shown to significantly lower the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It is also very filling and can help to take the edge off appetite.
Figs are also a good source of iron, magnesium, potassium, B vitamins, as well as vitamin K. Figs contain different types of antioxidants and have been shown in studies to raise antioxidant activity. Antioxidants mop up free radicals, which may contribute to the development of cancer, heart disease and the visible signs of aging by damagingDNA and other body systems. The riper the fig, the more antioxidants it contains. *(ref:http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/nutrition/healthy-eating/the-nutrition-of-figs.html#b).
