Are all figs the same? Not exactly. Fresh figs have a significantly lower carb count than their dried counterparts. Over 3 times less! Why? It's simple, natural-occurring sugar concentrates when fruit is dried. So go ahead & indulge in one of the season's sensations ... but keep it fresh! We might add, they are perfect atop a toasted slice of our low-carb Seedy Bread, slathered with fresh Brie & topped with toasted walnuts. Enjoy. 💙⁠
