]]> Fig season is in full swing, as these delicious Mediterranean fruits will be in season until the middle of the fall season. If you find yourself lucky enough to find them at your local market, you might be wondering what you can do with these delicious fruits. Have no fear, as here are three great uses for fresh figs that you can only use during their relatively short season!

Eat Them By Themselves

While most of us aren’t used to eating them, fresh figs are a sweet and delicious treat. All of the fruit is edible except for its stem, which you should cut off. Other than that, just slice open, take small bites and enjoy its ultra-sweet flavor.

In Salads

Figs are a great topping for a salad as long as you don’t go over the top with them. They go great with ingredients like berries, spinach, and goat cheese. My favorite dressing to use on salads with figs is a balsamic vinaigrette.

On Toast

Have you ever tried fig toast before? Using a multi-grain, slightly sweet bread along with goat cheese or a relatively strong option can be the perfect combination between savory and sweet to start your morning!

Figs Toast

If you’re a fan of sweet toast, you should try eating this one with your cup of tea in the morning. In addition to thinly sliced figs, you’ll also have to top your toast with a vegan yogurt spread, passion fruit, and wild blueberries—but any of these ingredients can be easily replaced.

Drama? Don’t really care for it in RL but drama in food is what’s exciting! The warm colours paired with the blue are colours we see paired often! What colours do you see often in life? In food? In travel? In clothes? Take something simple like toast and play around with the colours 🎨 and see what magic you make. I made this for my lovely friend’s @stemsandforks and @silvia_salvialimone who are hosting a #colourchallenges On this toast is simply: Plant based yogurt Figs Passion fruit Wildblueberries Mint Enjoy the process 🙂 Sarah __________________________________________ #toast #avotoast #kaylaitsines #createeveryday #bestofvegan #thisweekoninstagram #veganrecipes #vegan #sourdough #toastmasters #carbs #pesto #guacomole #ourdailybread #avo #foodphotography #mycanon #realfood #TOHfoodie #avocados #cilantro #gloobyfood #veganfood #healthyfood #toasts #bbgcommunity #bbggirls #f52grams #feedfeed

Salted Chocolate Ganache

If you’re in the mood for a recipe that requires a bit more skill, how about making some salted chocolate ganache? The process of making it is pretty straightforward, and the final result would be quite ordinary if it wasn’t for figs topping that made the whole thing 100% better.

Fig Crumble Cake

If the previous two recipes don’t contain as many figs as you’d like, take things to the next level with this one. In addition to being topped with figs, this crumble cake contains fresh figs in its oat crumble, and they’re its main and the most delicious ingredient.

✨ Fig Crumble Cake ✨ I was asked why I do my photography and if it was driven by a desire to succeed or make a business out of it. I actually did intend to make this a food photography channel and started with @sculptedpilates and was trying to promote my Pilates business (ironically that didn’t do well) and posted my food one day. What followed after was meeting so many diverse and wonderful people around the world. As the account has evolved and my photography has improved a little, the desire to commercialize isn’t the driving force. I genuinely find the world of photography so excited that I want to jump out of bed and bake, cook &capture the images as well as I can! I genuinely think that if you’re appreciative of the small and positive things that come from your work, you’ll enjoy your work more than if your intention were to be profit driven. What drives you to do your page? ⭐ Fig Crumble cake: 2 flax eggs (2 T of chia/flax meal in 6 T of water) 1.5 cups of chopped fresh figs 3/4 cup of coconut or oat yogurt 3/4 cup of coconut sugar 1/2 cup of coconut oil or vegan butter 2 tsp of baking powder 3/4 cup of oats 1 1/2 AP flour Method: Preheat your oven to 350F Make your flax eggs, put aside Fluff/mix your sugar and butter/oil. Add in your wet ingredients and mix well. Add your dry ingredients slowly and just combine. Try not to overtax. Place inside a square pan or a small circular pan lined with parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray Make your oat crumble Oat crumble: 1/2 cup of flour 1/4 cup coconut sugar 1/3 cup of oats 5 T of cold vegan butter 1/2 cup of dried or fresh figs 1/3 cup sliced almonds Method: Combine the above ingredients and mix with fingers until it resembles crumbs. Place oat crumble on top of your prepared pan and place into oven for 70 minutes. But test with a chopstick.

]]> Some of your favorite fruits are also the ones that contain a lot of sugar. So instead of completely avoiding them once you read the list, try simply reducing the intake. Check out the fruits with most sugar to get to know more about these delicious treats.

Figs

Figs and grapes are on top of the fruits with most sugar list. That is the main reason why these tasty treats are so sweet. But it doesn’t mean that you should completely forget about figs. It only points out that you should limit how much you have.

Figs are a highly prized and nourishing fruit that have been used to treat nearly every known disease since ancient times. They can provide phenomenal amounts of energy and vitality to the body as well as aid in the repair and restoration of the digestive, cardiovascular, lymphatic, reproductive, muscular, immune, and skeletal system. ___ Figs are one of the most alkaline fruits available and are rich in minerals such as calcium, iron, copper, potassium, selenium, and zinc. In fact, figs are one the highest sources of readily assimilable calcium in the plant world which makes them a great choice to help prevent osteoporosis and their potassium content can help to prevent hypertension as well. ___ Figs have the ability to bind to acids in the body that accumulate as fat globules and flush them from the body making them a good addition to any weight loss program. They also work as an excellent laxative and their high mucin content help to eliminate toxic wastes and mucus from the colon. Similarly, they also also very beneficial for people who suffer from asthma as they can help to drain phlegm from the body. ___ Figs have the ability to kill off bad bacteria while promoting the buildup of good bacteria such as acidophilus in the bowel. Figs contain chlorogenic acid which can help lower blood sugar levels and control blood glucose levels in Type 2 Diabetes. There are hundreds varieties of figs, but some of the more common ones found in supermarkets include Black Mission, Kadota, Brown Turkey, and Calimyrna. ___ Fresh figs are a decadent treat when in season, but when fresh figs are not available, try soaking some dried figs in water for a few hours and blend into a sweet and creamy fig pudding or add to a smoothie for a flavor and nutritional boost. Snack on fresh or dried figs for a powerhouse of nutrition and energy that can help your body function optimally all day long.

Grapes

Just like figs, the grape is loaded on sugar. It is definitely something we all love to enjoy in it, especially at the end of the summer. Another amazing product from grapes is wine, so there is no chance in hell you should forget about this fruit.

Cherries

Cherries might be your favorite ones, but these fruits are packed with sugar. Only one cup of cherries has 18 grams of sugar. That sure does sound like quite a lot, but summer wouldn’t be the same without them.

Pears

Pears are another one of those sweet fruits that you simply can’t get enough. If you are trying to cut back on sugar, you might want to forget about pears.

Bananas

Bananas are extremely high in calories and also among the fruits with most sugar. But sugar is not the only thing they contain. Bananas are also packed in vitamins and minerals that make your life better.
