A big benefit of figs is their nutrition profile. 

Two raw medium-sized figs — about 17 grams — provide 2 grams of fiber.

In that serving size, we also get several essential minerals. Minerals are important for forming strong bones, maintaining healthy blood pressure and absorbing nutrients from your food.

 Fiber to support healthy digestion, relieve constipation and improve heart health by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol.

Essential nutrients like copper, potassium, manganese, magnesium and vitamin K.

• Other nutrients that may combat cancer, help with blood sugar management and aid weight loss efforts.

Again figs also have a lot of fiber, which is good for your heart (and overall health). Fiber is known to lower your risk of diseases such as:

•     Colon cancer.
•     Heart disease.
•     Type 2 diabetes.
