Native to Europe and the Middle East, figs have been a staple of the heart-healthy Mediterranean and Middle Eastern diets since antiquity. In ancient Greece, figs were fed to Olympic athletes in training and offered, in wreaths, to the victors. Of course, figs are also mentioned in the Bible along with fig leaves in the Garden of Eden! Today, Greece is one the world's largest producers of figs. Because the fig harvesting season is so short, almost 90% of figs are sold dried. Krinos Kalamata Sun-Dried Figs hail from the sun-drenched city of Kalamata. All natural, and naturally sun dried, our plump and juicy figs are sweet, dense, chewy and packed with flavor!
