My favourite fruit is fig (Anjeer). In the Holy Book of Islam fig is mentioned as "The Fruit Of heaven ". It is an important fruit and can be grown anywhere but mostly grown commercially and at hot , dry and sunny areas. It is available in both fresh and dried form. It satisfy the sweet cravings thats why people are turning back to the use of fig in desert instead of sugar.

PORTION SIZE:
Figs can be eaten fresh, dried and also in desserts if we want to avoid sugar instead and a number of other different ways like in salad and can be baked.
Although figs are healthy but everything has its limitations and it is important that we should keep in mind that a serving size is one medium fig. The sugar in fig is highly absorbable so we should always be mindful of the amount of figs we eat and also in food and limit ourselves to keep overall sugar intake low.
