What is fig fruit good?
If you are looking for the nutrition facts of fig, this article is not quite about it. As you may know there are different quality class about fig and figs are qualified in different classes as below :
AAA, AA, A, B and C. The first three classed could come with + sign and if the + sign is added to it; that means all of the pieces are open mouth. Each country has different categories for fig quality. For example, Turkey fig has a class of 1 to 10. 1 is the biggest and the best one and 10 is the lowest quality that is used for fig paste or marmalade.
AAA+ , AA+ , A+ , B
In Iran all of these classes are based on the dimension and the color of it. AAA the biggest and B is the smallest. Well of course you may say why not c? because class C is used for animal food and its quality is not good enough to be used by people.
In many countries like Iran, Turkey, China, … fig is used among nuts and as snacks close to them. AAA quality class is mostly used in this dish and for your guests.
AA quality class is good for being eaten in casual and also formal occasions.
A class is also good to be eaten as food snacks and when you need some nutrition and energy for your daily activities.
