Our Dried Fig from Turkey
Product Description
Turkey is a leading producer and exporter of high-quality dried figs. The country offers several varieties of figs, including Aydın, Sarı Lop, Gemlik, and Erincik, each with its own unique taste, texture, and color. The production facilities in Turkey utilize the latest technology and equipment to ensure the best quality product.
Dried figs in Turkey are grown using sustainable and natural methods, without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The peak season for dried figs in Turkey is between August and October, with the highest availability following the harvest season. The drying process can take several days and is carefully monitored to achieve the desired level of moisture. Turkish dried figs are graded based on their appearance and quality, and only the highest quality figs are selected for processing. The product is free from additives and preservatives and is carefully packed to maintain its freshness and flavor.
Family-owned farms in the Aegean region of Turkey produce most of the dried figs in the country, passing down their knowledge and experience to ensure that the product meets the highest quality standards. Consumers can find Turkish dried figs in specialty stores and online retailers year-round, but the highest availability is during the months following the harvest season. Our producers do not have any capacity problems in spot sales outside the peak season or planned sales throughout the year.

Variety / Color
Turkey produces two types of dried figs, which are mountain figs and lowland figs. Mountain figs, also known as wild figs, are harvested from wild fig trees in the mountains and have a darker color and a more intense flavor compared to lowland figs. Lowland figs, on the other hand, are cultivated in orchards in lowland areas and have a milder flavor and lighter color. Mountain figs are typically more expensive than lowland figs due to their limited availability and unique flavor profile.
In addition to the Aydın variety, Sarı Lop, Gemlik, and Erincik are also popular dried fig varieties produced in Turkey. Sarı Lop figs are known for their thin skin and delicate texture, while Gemlik figs have a thicker skin and a more robust flavor. Erincik figs are smaller in size and are often used for making jams and other sweet products.

Form
Dried figs can be sold in several forms, including whole, sliced, diced, and paste. Whole figs are the most common form, while sliced and diced figs are often used in baking and cooking. Fig paste is made by grinding dried figs into a paste-like consistency and is used as a sweetener or filling.
Processed Type
Turkish dried figs can be processed in various ways, depending on the desired final product. The most common processing methods include sun-drying, oven-drying, and machine-drying. Sun-drying is the traditional method that involves exposing the figs to the sun for several days. Oven-drying is a quicker method that uses ovens to dry the figs, while machine-drying employs specialized machines to dry the figs efficiently and rapidly.
Storage Condition
The ideal storage conditions for dried figs are:
Temperature: Store in a cool, dry place with a temperature range of 50°F to 60°F (10°C to 15.5°C).
Humidity: Keep the humidity below 60% to prevent mold and bacterial growth.
Light: Protect from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and nutrient loss.
Air: Store in an airtight container or package to prevent moisture and air exposure.
Following these storage conditions will help maintain the quality and freshness of dried apricots for a longer period. It is also important to check the expiration date and quality of the product before consuming or using it.
