Earthy, Elegant & Naturally Sweet – The Fruit of Wisdom from Afghan Valleys

Our large Afghani figs come from the peaceful, sun-drenched orchards of Kandahar and Herat, where fig trees have been thriving for centuries in the mineral-rich soil and dry climate of Afghanistan. Grown on small, traditional farms without the use of synthetic chemicals, these figs are handpicked with care and sun-dried in the open, preserving their wholesome purity and unmistakable flavor.

Appearance: Large, round, and soft with a delicate beige-to-light brown skin and natural sugar crystal coating

Taste & Flavour: Sweet and mellow with nutty undertones, an earthy richness, and a subtle chew - never overly sticky or sugary

Freshness: Dried whole and naturally, these figs retain a soft, pliable texture and authentic figgy aroma. No added sugar, preservatives, or artificial treatments

After being picked at full ripeness, the figs are gently sun-dried on wooden racks in clean, dry mountain air - without chemical drying or preservatives. Once dried, they’re cleaned, graded by size and quality, and packed in temperature-controlled conditions to preserve texture and flavor. Redbasil ensures every fig is pure, untreated, and uncompromised.

Benefits & Uses

Afghani figs aren’t just delicious — they offer a host of wellness benefits:

  • Rich in dietary fiber, aiding digestion and helping regulate blood sugar levels
  • Naturally sweet but low on the glycemic index, making them ideal for healthy snacking
  • A good source of iron, supporting energy and reducing fatigue

Figs are endlessly versatile - both indulgent and wholesome at once:

  • Nutritious Snack: Enjoy straight from the pack - one or two figs is all it takes to satisfy a sweet craving
  • Cheese Pairings: Pairs beautifully with goat cheese, brie, or blue cheese for an elegant platter
  • Traditional Sweets: Use in Indian mithais, energy laddoos, or dry fruit rolls
  • Cooking Companion: Add richness to biryanis, couscous, or meat marinades
