WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO

  • Extremely high carbs: 16.3g net carbs per 100g is among the highest of all fruits
  • High sugar density: Primarily glucose and fructose with minimal nutritional complexity
  • Low fat content: Provides no satiety despite sugar content
  • Minimal protein: Insufficient protein for meal building
  • Traditional sweetener: Historically used as natural sweetener for its concentrated sugars
  • Ketosis disruptor: Will quickly exceed daily carb allowance

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

OCCASIONAL TREAT

Reserve dried figs for very special occasions, limiting to one small fig (10g) per month.

STEWED IN SPICE

Stew one small fig with cinnamon in water. Consume sparingly as a special dessert.

FIG POWDER

Dry and powder a fig to use as a rare flavoring agent (1 teaspoon) in dishes.

HERBAL TEA INFUSION

Steep a small piece of fig in hot water as a flavored tea, removing the fruit.
