Things worth knowing
- One medium fresh fig (50 g) has about 37 kcal / 155 kJ, and a large one (64 g) about 47 kcal / 198 kJ.
- Dried figs are 249 kcal per 100 g, more than three times fresh, but a single dried fig weighs only about 8.4 g, so it is around 21 kcal.
- A large fresh fig provides about 1.9 g of fibre; dried figs are the more concentrated fibre source simply because the water has been removed.
- Fresh figs are delicate and seasonal, so most figs eaten year-round are dried, which is worth remembering when reading nutrition labels.
