Living where we do we don't often fid fresh figs, but when they are finally in season I tend to indulge in these wonderful gems of goodness.
Figs have amazing health benefits, from boosting your antioxidant levels to reducing inflammation. They are fibrous which, may help improve gut mobility and are high in potassium which is important in heart health.
A great way to enjoy figs other than simply on their own is to toss them into a great green or spinach salad with a light balsamic vinaigrette. I love them in smoothies, light tasting and hits the spot. Below is one of my favourite "fig" smoothie recipes.
Enjoy!
