Fig Trees
Figs are a rich source of vitamins (like vitamin B6 and vitamin K), fiber, and minerals such as potassium and magnesium. They’re excellent for digestive health and heart health.
Fresh figs are a treat on their own, but they’re also great in salads, desserts, jams, and preserves. Dried figs are equally versatile and can be used in baking or eaten as a snack.
