Fresh figs are sweet and juicy. Enjoy them as a snack, add slices to salads or pair them with cheese and honey for a simple starter.
Dried figs are a convenient, nutrient-dense snack. Add them to cereal or yoghurt or use chopped figs in baking muffins, bread or cookies.
Blend fresh or dried figs into smoothies with bananas, milk and honey for a naturally sweet and creamy drink. Add nuts or seeds for extra nutrition.
Make fig jam by cooking figs with sugar and lemon juice. Use it as a spread for toast, biscuits or dessert filling.
Add figs to roasted meats, stews or stuffing for sweetness. They can also be used as a pizza topping.
