Fresh figs are an amazing dessert! According to Dr. Fuhrman, "figs are rich in fiber, minerals, and polyphenol antioxidant compounds; eating figs has been shown to increase the antioxidant capacity of the blood, which could help to prevent oxidative damage in the body. Figs, similar to beans and oats, are notably high in soluble fiber, a nutrient with cholesterol-lowering properties."
They also taste delicious, and they are a great way to cure a sweet tooth.
