Figs are real sun worshippers. Fig trees originally come from the Orient, but today they grow in many warm regions – especially around the Mediterranean, where they are in season from July to November.
What makes this plant so special? A fig tree bears male and female flowers simultaneously and produces three generations of inflorescences per year. That means: longer harvest times and lots of figs!
Dried figs – even sweeter, even more intense
In addition to the fresh variety, figs are a popular ingredient in Oriental cuisine – whether for cooking, baking or simply as a snack. However, most of the harvest is dried, which gives the fruit:
- its typical flat shape and brown colour
- a long shelf life thanks to natural fructose
- an even sweeter and more aromatic taste
The dried and chopped figs in Kölln Oat Muesli Fruit – No Added Sugar come from Turkey. They are part of a colourful mix of 10 different fruits – for maximum variety and natural taste.
