One serving of California figs (three to five) provides 5 grams of dietary fiber—20 percent of the Daily Value! Figs also contain potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and manganese. Figs are typically harvested from late summer into early fall. Fortunately, drying them makes them available year round. Try figs fresh, dried, sliced, sautéed, grilled, or roasted—you’ll love their dense, savory sweetness!
