Fig seeds, dried fruit seeds

FIG SEEDS

Dried fig seeds are natural products, free from additives and preservatives. The seeds undergo a cleaning and screening process, along with high-temperature drying without any chemical processing. These seeds are a  clean-label ingredient, and a  source of dietary fiber exceeding 50%, making them a wholesome addition to your recipes. 

Dried fig seeds, derived from various species of the Ficus genus, serve as excellent natural ingredients that enhance the final product's texture and visual appeal. These tiny seeds measure approximately 1-2 mm, and offer a delightful crispy texture. Moreover, dried fig seeds exhibit remarkable microbiological stability, granting them a storage capacity of up to two years. They can seamlessly be incorporated at any stage of the manufacturing process, elevating your creations.


Remarkably, fig trees bear fruit twice a year. In their natural environment, fig flowers are pollinated by chalcid wasps, with the larvae developing within the female fig flowers. The male wasps fulfill their role by fertilizing their partners and ultimately perishing within the fruit. The fruit's enzymes break down the deceased wasps into proteins, contributing to the fig's unique composition.
