Figs (Anjir)
Figs, known as Anjir in South Asia, are the sweet, pear-shaped fruits of the Ficus carica tree. These delicious fruits have a smooth, thin skin and are filled with tiny, crunchy seeds that give them a unique texture. Figs are prized for their natural sweetness and are enjoyed both fresh and dried. Dried figs are especially popular in the global market due to their longer shelf life and versatility in a variety of dishes. Whether used in salads, baking, jams, or enjoyed as a snack, figs are a rich source of nutrients, antioxidants, and dietary fiber.
