Figs, whole fruit, dried

Dried figs are whole fig fruits from which much of the water has been removed. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with smaller amounts of protein and fat, and also supply minerals such as calcium. Per 100g, they provide 967 kJ of energy, 53g of carbohydrate, including 53g of sugars, and 250mg of calcium.

Calcium is needed for the maintenance of bones and teeth and for normal muscle function. Drying concentrates the sugars naturally present in fruit, making the amount eaten relevant for people monitoring sugar or energy intake. The full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
