Why use Fig Syrup?
Fig Syrup is perfect for use as a natural sweetener or as a replacement for sugar in baking and cooking recipes. Providing more fiber than any other common fruit or vegetable, fig syrup is an excellent digestive aid. Figs are loaded with essential vitamins and antioxidants, while also containing the highest overall mineral content of all common fruits. A 40 gram serving provides 244mg of potassium, along with calcium, iron and zinc. Delicious and nutritious, our Fig Syrup is made from black mission figs with no sugar added.

"Last week someone told me about a company that sells fig syrup, and I ordered some. 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." - G.L.O., Ventnor City, NJ
