A rare fruit source of calcium,figs may help prevent the bone loss associated with aging.They're also very high in fibre, which may reduce the risk of colon,breast and prostate cancers.
Eat them like this:Slice fresh,unpeeled figs,and serve with cheese or on a salad; toss dried figs in to a mix of dried fruits, grains, nuts, even chocolate.Figs that aren't completely ripe can irritate the mouth, so look for soft, aromatic ones.
