Iranian Dried Figs

Iranian dried figs, with their sweet flavor and unique soft texture, are among the top export products in the country’s dried fruit sector. This product is sourced from high-quality fig trees in various Iranian provinces such as Fars, Kerman, and Yazd. Thanks to suitable climate conditions and a blend of traditional and modern processing methods, Iranian dried figs are known for their premium, world-class quality.

Iranian dried figs come in different varieties, including green (mountain) figs, black figs, and “Kashki” figs. Each type offers its own unique flavor and texture depending on the cultivation area and drying technique.

Unique Characteristics of Iranian Dried Figs

Iranian figs are rich in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins A and B, along with essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, and iron—making them a natural superfood. Compared to foreign options like Turkish or Greek figs, Iranian figs have a more authentic taste and higher nutritional value due to sun-drying or shade-drying methods without chemical preservatives.

Technical Specifications

Iranian dried figs are exported with less than 20% moisture content, uniform size, and standard packaging such as vacuum-sealed bags, moisture-resistant cartons, and semi-industrial packs. They serve as a healthy snack and are widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries for making desserts, sweets, and supplements.
