Afghan anjeer (dried figs) are small, round, golden-brown, with an intensely sweet and nutty flavour - they are the most popular variety in India. Turkish figs are larger, flatter, darker, and have a milder, honeyed taste. Indian Poona figs (from Maharashtra) are smaller and less sweet but locally available. Afghan figs are generally considered the best value for taste and nutrition.

Nutritionists recommend 2-4 dried figs per day (about 30-50g). For constipation relief, soak 2-3 anjeer overnight in water and eat on an empty stomach. For calcium intake, 4 figs provide about 65mg calcium. For weight gain, eat 3-4 anjeer with warm milk before bed. Diabetics should limit to 1-2 figs due to high natural sugar.

Yes. Dried figs are one of the most effective natural remedies for constipation. They contain 9.8g fibre per 100g - one of the highest among all dry fruits. Soaking 2-3 anjeer overnight and eating them with the soaking water on an empty stomach promotes bowel movement within hours. The combination of soluble and insoluble fibre acts as a natural laxative.

Yes. Dried figs contain 162mg calcium per 100g - higher than most dry fruits and comparable to milk (125mg per 100ml). They also contain phosphorus and magnesium which support calcium absorption. For lactose-intolerant people, anjeer is an excellent plant-based calcium source. Eating 3-4 figs daily contributes 5-7% of daily calcium needs.

Quality dried figs should be: 1) Plump and slightly soft - not rock-hard or bone-dry, 2) Golden-brown to light brown colour (not blackened), 3) Sweet, fruity aroma without any fermented smell, 4) No white crystalline sugar coating on surface, 5) No visible mould, insect holes, or dark spots, 6) Uniform size, 7) FSSAI licence number on pack.

Both methods work well. Soaked: Place 2-3 figs in water overnight, eat in the morning - this method softens fibre, improves digestibility, and is best for constipation. Dry: Eat as a snack or with milk/yogurt - this method is convenient and provides a chewier texture. For calcium absorption, eat with milk. For iron absorption, eat with Vitamin C-rich fruit.

Yes. Dried figs are calorie-dense (249 kcal per 100g) with high natural sugars. The traditional Ayurvedic remedy is eating 3-4 anjeer with warm milk and a few almonds before bed. This combination provides calories, calcium, protein, and healthy fats. Consistent intake for 4-6 weeks can support healthy weight gain.

Store dried figs in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Shelf life at room temperature: 6-9 months. Refrigerated: 12+ months. During monsoon and summer, always refrigerate to prevent fermentation and mould. If figs become too hard, soak in warm water for 15 minutes before eating. Never store near strong-smelling foods as figs absorb odours.
