Figs, also known as anjeer, are a nutrient-dense fruit celebrated in Ayurveda and modern science for their health benefits. Whether fresh or dried, figs are a good source of fiber, carbohydrates, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. They are particularly noted for aiding digestive health by promoting regular bowel movements and offering relief from constipation. Originating from the Mediterranean, figs have a long history of cultivation and consumption, adapting well to certain regions in India where they are considered a superfood.
