I have always marvelled at this seemingly unassuming pear-shaped fruit with hundreds of tiny seeds. So much flavour, texture and colour. The deep purple colour is so good for you as it is loaded with phytonutrients. Figs are naturally low in fat, packed with vitamins and minerals. It's high fiber content and antioxidants make it one of the most desirable fruits to consume. Some of the benefits of eating figs include,
- Promotes gut health
- Excellent source of Vitamin A
- Antioxidants help skin health
- Helps maintain blood sugar levels
- Prevents heart disease
