Production & Sourcing
Fresh figs are carefully harvested at peak ripeness, cleaned, and sorted to ensure quality. They’re then either sun-dried or mechanically dehydrated, a method that involves removing moisture to preserve the fruit. During drying, figs are sliced or diced into smaller pieces, facilitating quicker drying and ensuring uniformity. This process helps concentrate their natural sugars and flavors while preserving their nutritional content.
