Fig, Kalamata, dried

Fig, Kalamata, dried
(Fig, Kalamata, dried) Kalamata figs come from the Southwestern part of Greece.  They are most often found in "wheels" or "trays".  We suggest that you purchase dried figs without sorbate, as we find it changes the flavor.  Sorbate is used to keep the figs soft and to prevent them from "sugaring".  We believe that these Kalamata figs are the best eating of the dried figs.  They are great for snacks. See the nutritional chart below.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
