dried fig
Chewy preserved fruit
A dried fig is a fig that has been dehydrated to preserve it, concentrating its sweetness and creating a chewy texture.
Fresh figs spoil quickly, so drying has been the primary way to store and transport them for millennia.
Dried figs are eaten as snacks, used in baking, or stuffed with nuts and cheese.
