Fig Bars Wild Rice Stuffing with Figs SHILOH FARMS Black Mission Figs are named for the mission fathers who planted the fruit as they traveled north along the California coast. Famous for its distinctive flavor, the deep purple of the fresh fruit darkens to a rich black color as it dries, making this fig an aesthetic and gastronomic delight. SHILOH FARMS Black Mission Figs are harvested in the late summer and early fall before being naturally sun-dried. Delectably sweet enough of their own accord, they have no sugar added and contain no cholesterol. Among the most fiber-rich fruits, figs have a robust nutritional profile, providing significant amounts of calcium, iron, potassium, manganese, and Vitamin B6. Suggestions: 1. Excellent as a snack for any age. 2. Chopped figs are delicious in baked goods, muffins, and quickbreads. 3. Chop figs & stew in fruit juice; then add to your favorite hot or cold cereals, fruit compote, or yogurt. 4. Dice and add to your favorite fruit salads. 5. Add to your grain pilafs. 6. Combine with sauteed sweet vegetables such as carrots, winter squashes, or sweet potatoes. Storage: As this product contains no preservatives, sugaring is possible. This is a natural process in which sugar crystals form on the outside of the fruit and can be accelerated by warm conditions. To reduce sugaring and maximize shelf life, we recommend storing figs in an airtight container in your refrigerator. If sugaring does occur, it can be washed off in warm water prior to consumption.
