RE: PLANTS ON THE HOMESTEAD - FIG TREES

in #homesteading7 years ago

Nice posts, In fact I made a spanish connection by seeing your pictures!

Casually, are you sure the dry fruits dont just have more nutrients per 100 grams because there is actually more fruit? As they lose water you have to throw more and more figs in there to get 100 grams....

Sort:  

That's what I was wondering. You can follow my source link, but I was kind of thinking the same thing might be true.

I'm going to check that out. In the meantime, I have challenged you:

I suspect that it is a concentration, this site admits as such

When dried, the calories, nutrients and fibre are concentrated

and even recommends rehydrating dry figs by soaking to aid digestion.

Fascinating either way, thanks for writing this article, if there is an underused and under-understood fruit it is the fig!
