Fig
from £1.70
With their green skin that sometimes ripens toward purple or brown, figs have a variety of potential health benefits. Figs contain small amounts of a wide variety of nutrients but they’re particularly rich in copper and vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is a key vitamin necessary to help our body break down dietary protein and create new proteins. It also plays an important role in brain health.
However due to their vitamin K content, figs may interfere with blood thinning medications. They should also be eaten in moderation due to their high sugar content.
Slightly under-ripe figs can be kept at room temperature for 1–2 days to ripen before serving. Figs are most flavourful at room temperature.
Figs are in season from August through to early October.
