Figs, ready-to-eat, semi-dried

Ready-to-eat semi-dried figs are figs with some of their water removed, supplied in a form that can be eaten without soaking or cooking. They mainly provide carbohydrate, including sugars, along with fibre and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 43g of carbohydrate, all recorded as sugars, 10g of fibre, 191mg of calcium and 784mg of potassium.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Removing water concentrates the sugars in dried fruit compared with fresh fruit, which is worth noting when considering sugar and energy intake. The amount eaten affects the total sugars and energy consumed. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
