Our Fig Syrup is delicious
and nutritious. It is 100% natural and made from fresh fully ripened black mission
figs with no sugar added. Extremely nutritious and contains a proteolytic enzyme
that is considered an aid to digestion. Add to milk as a substitute for chocolate,
use to sweeten your coffee or use as a coffee substitute, dilute with water to
make a fig juice energizer or use in baking. Figs provide more fiber than any
other common fruit or vegetable and have a high quantity of polyphenol antioxidants.
They contain no fat, no sodium and no cholesterol. Figs have the highest
overall mineral content of all common fruits. A 40 gram serving provides 244mg
of potassium, along with calcium, iron and zinc. Figs are also a natural source
of serotonin, which may aid in stimulating the pineal gland. Figs contain vitamin B6,
which produces mood-boosting serotonin, lowers cholesterol and prevents water retention.
Recent research has determined that dried figs contain
Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids, as well as
phytosterols. Phytosterols are credited with decreasing natural cholesterol synthesis
in the body, thus lowering overall cholesterol counts.

"Last week someone told me about a company that sells fig syrup, and I ordered
some online (www.baar.com/figsyrup.htm). It is 100% natural. I am jumping for
joy. I just called and ordered another 4 bottles to be sent to my parents in Florida,
who can't wait to get it. The ironic thing is that it costs about the same amount
as I spent buying all the dried figs, and I don't have to spend days making it."
