Tip of the day:
Dried figs are a source of energy, characterized by their high potassium, calcium, and iron content. They are also a good source of vitamin B6 and fiber. Enjoy them on their own or incorporate them into your pastry dough, cakes, and cookies; you can also use them to garnish salads or in the preparation of tagines.
