Wrapped in a biscuity coating, on your cereal, in your skincare� this jammy beauty really can do it all! Dried figs are packed with tiny seeds that gently exfoliate the skin. Fruit enzymes, alongside vitamins A and C, help keep the skin looking healthy and glowing.

Fig trees belong to a large family of plants called Moraceae, many of which are cultivated for their beautiful leaves. The common fig (Ficus carica) is grown for its �fruits,� which are actually inside-out flowers. The fruits can come in many colours, shapes and sizes. Figs have been associated with deities throughout history and have been cultivated since at least 5000BC.
