Afghani Figs

Afghani figs are some of the most prized dried figs in the world. Grown in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan where the dry climate concentrates natural sugars beautifully, these figs are noticeably larger, more flavourful and more nutritionally dense than the Turkish variety you typically find in the market.

The texture is soft and chewy with a honeyed sweetness that builds gradually as you eat. There is a slight earthiness and depth of flavour that comes from the growing region itself, something no other dried fig can replicate.

At Noha Harvest we source authentic Afghani figs directly so you get the genuine article. No added sugar, no preservatives, no sulphur treatment.
