AWAFI MILL Dried Persian Figs 250g - Anjeer - Ficus carica

AWAFI MILL Dried Persian Figs, traditionally known as Anjeer, are whole dried fruits prepared from Ficus carica, commonly known as the common or edible fig.

The figs are dried to reduce their natural moisture while concentrating their naturally sweet, fruity and honey-like flavour. The product consists of whole, rounded, pear-shaped or slightly flattened fruits.

The figs may have pale yellow, golden-beige, creamy beige or light-brown skin. Some fruits remain closed, while others may naturally split during drying, packing or transportation, revealing a dense interior containing numerous tiny natural seeds.

Dried Persian Figs have a firm to moderately chewy texture with a naturally concentrated fruity character. Their flavour can be described as naturally sweet, honey-like, mildly caramelised, lightly nutty and gently jam-like.

The fruits may be round, pear-shaped or slightly flattened. They may remain whole or naturally split and have a wrinkled surface.

The interior contains numerous tiny natural seeds and may range from pale amber and pink to reddish-brown.

The texture is firm to moderately chewy, dense and slightly fibrous. Depending on natural moisture levels, some fruits may be softer or slightly sticky.

Dried Persian Figs have a naturally concentrated fruit character with naturally sweet, fruity, honey-like, mildly caramelised and lightly nutty notes.

The dense fig flesh provides a pleasantly chewy texture, while the numerous tiny seeds provide a delicate natural crunch.
