Dried Figs from north evoia greece Figs have been a staple of the human diet for at least 3000 years. For the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean, the fig was a staple.

They strengthen our bones thanks to their calcium content. They fight constipation because they contain soluble fiber. They contribute to hormonal balance thanks to the amino acid arginine.
