Fig

Fig is the dried fruit of Ficus carica, a small deciduous tree of the mulberry family native to the Middle East and the Mediterranean and cultivated there for thousands of years. Nustras supplies it as dried fruit powder, made by drying and milling the ripe fruit, and as a concentrated fruit extract powder. The fruit contains natural sugars, dietary fibre, organic acids, polyphenols and minerals.

Fig powder is formulated into functional foods, nutrition bars, bakery and confectionery products, fruit and fibre blends, beverage mixes and botanical supplements in capsule and powder form.

Supplied as a light brown to brown powder with a characteristic sweet fruit aroma and taste. Botanical identity is confirmed by macroscopic examination of the raw fruit and HPLC or thin-layer fingerprint of the powder; particle size, moisture and ash are standardised to specification. Heavy-metal, pesticide, mycotoxin and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies fig in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Fig is an accepted food and supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the preparation and permitted claim for their application. Contact us for grade, pricing per kilogram and lead time.
