Dried figs. They come from organic farming.

Organic Rapunzel figs are particularly aromatic, sweet as honey. The sun-dried fruits grow on the steep slopes of the Aydin region and come from the Rapunzel Turkey project. Packed with vitamins and minerals, the figs are high in magnesium, potassium and iron. At Rapunzel Turkey in Ören, they are first flash-frozen to kill insects and individually checked for aflatoxins under UV light.

Use:
Ideal as a snack between meals, for baking, for desserts and bars, in muesli or in combination with spicy foods.

Figs were among the first fruits cultivated by humans. This fruit has been cultivated in the Mediterranean area for centuries. Figs are revered in many cultures and are the subject of numerous myths and legends. Edible figs belong to the family of the so-called pure fig (Ficus carica). These figs can grow up to 8 m tall. The first harvests are obtained only after about 5 years from the time the fig tree was planted, and the lifespan of a fig tree can reach up to 50 years.

The color palette of the fruits ranges from greenish yellow to dark purple. The flesh of the fruit is pinkish or reddish. The ripe fruits are hand-picked at the end of August by our partner farmers, who are part of the Rapunzel-Turkey project. The fig plantations are found on the mountain peaks but also on the plains of Aydin. After being picked, the organic figs are placed on special grills and dried in the sun for 2-4 days. The dried figs are then checked and selected, and then sent further for processing in the city of Ören.
