dried figs
Dehydrated sweet fruit
Dried figs are figs that have been dehydrated to preserve them, concentrating their sweetness and chewy texture.
Fresh figs spoil quickly, so drying has been the traditional method of storage for millennia.
They're eaten as snacks, used in baking, or paired with cheese and nuts: a handful of dried figs and almonds.
